I haven't done any ATCs for ages, but decided to join in with a swap on a forum I belong to. The theme was an open one, which believe it or not always makes it harder for me cause I spend 90% of my time trying to decide what to do.In the end I found these gorgeous silhouettes printed on acetate in my bit box and decided to make use of them. The embossed card was also bits left from other projects too and it was really satisfying to use it up on these.
On the first ATC I used chalk on the plain white embossed card to create the background effect and attached the acetate image with tiny pieces of tape behind the darkest part of the image. The torn vellum was stamped with the word 'believe' and attached with a gem brad and more gems finished the ATC off.
On the second ATC I use the back of some already embossed red card which had a gorgeous earthy brown colour on the reverse - a sort of classy cardboard colour. Again the acetate was attached with tape and embellishments added. I used an ink pad to soften the edges. The black swirl was sent to me by a friend some time ago when before I got my Cricut machine (thank you Irene).

Ooooooooh! Ann, I love the way you have coloured the cuttlebug swirl pattern. It looks great and makes a very attractive background to a lovely silhouette image. I might have a go as I have the swirl folder.

Hi Ann
These are really beautiful ATC's - I love the evening sky effect on the first one - you've captured it perfectly. Nice to see that you come from Yorkshire too - I live in West Yorkshire!
Love, Sylvia xx
