The item at SCD this month is ATCs. The Crafty Secrets challenge this week is "anything but a card" so an ATC fits nicely! The SCD theme for the week is "wings" so I pulled out the Altered Art set and used the wings to make a vintage butterfly with assorted gems for the body. Accents from the French Mail stamp set and a little lace finished it off.Penny saver: look out in charity shops (goodwill stores if you're in the US, op shops if you're joining me from down under!) for old sheet music. I got a book for 75p that will last about as long as me, I reckon! You even get to choose a section where the spacing and shape of the notes fits your project!
Stamps:
Altered Art and French Mail (Clear Art Stamps by Crafty Secrets)
Weathered Wood backgrounder (Cornish Heritage Farms - retired)
Paper:
Vintage sheet music
Simply smooth vanilla (CHF)
Ink:
Versafine by Tsukineko (Onyx Black)
Tim Holtz Distress ink by Ranger (Vintage Photo)
Other:
Copic markers (Eggshell, Brick Beige, Chamois)
Gems
Krylon Leafing pen (Copper)
Corner Chomper
Vintage lace
Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend!

ooo I love the way you have done the butterfly and the sheet music is perfect with it. I am always on the lookout for sheet music in the local charity shops but so far out of luck :( XXX
Fab ATC Joanne - great tip for the sheet music. If you can't find exactly the right thing in that book for your project you can scan and resize - there's another tip for your readers!
Such a great ATC, Joanne! Love that butterfly--gorgeous! Thanks for your visit today, too!

Absolutely stunning. So vintage.
Gorgeous ATC, Joanne! Love how the butterfly turned out.
Hi Joanne,
long time since I popped over, nice to see you again.
I am not sure which part of the ATC I like the best... I adore ackgrounds they are as important to me as the image and you have it all it's a 10 from me it's so innocent but quite sexy at the same time.
I love how you list all your ingredients.
Have a great weekend
