I'm trying to wrap my head around making a couple of ATCs for the upcoming 9th anniversary of WOYWW. In that vein here is one I created for an Inspiration Avenue challenge. BTW, Inspiration Avenue shut down their challenges a couple of years ago. I wanted to keep it short today, since I've had so many long posts lately.
This post is from June, 2012 and the challenge was "Wishes."
Here is my "Wishes" entry. The sentiment reads: "We often confuse what we wish for with what is." ~Neil GaimanThis is an ATC I created using a magazine image and scraps of scrapbook and hand painted papers. The sentiment was computer generated. I colored the edges of the ATC with a gold leafing pen.

Lovely ATC, and a good answer to the remit: 'Wishes'. I love the quote. I had not heard it but it is so true.
ReplyDeleteHappy Second on the 2nd,

What a wonderful image and the sentiment is so so true. It drives me crazy when the connection doesn't click in my mind when I'm trying to come up with something. Thank goodness for my little book of ideas..

This is such a sweet piece. I am glad you shared it since I hadn't seen it yet. :) And BIG thanks for linking me in. I figured it was better to write at night than first thing in the morning in case my brain was too foggy. And it is. :) I am itching to ave some new art time...maybe I will be ambitious enough today after work. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLovely ATC. Nice quote, too. Neil Gaiman wrote one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes
ReplyDeleteI love your atc and quote so true as well.
ReplyDeletewhen I was swapping atc's, postcards, and handmade cards several years back-I always had trouble creating with the small space of an atc-yours is beautiful Happy second on the 2nd Kathy
It was a super quote you used on the ATC, kit was good to see what you were making in 2012

I actually gasped when I saw this post. My 2 on 2 post is about ATC's as well. Post is up but once again I ask you to link me when you have time. Now let's go make some ATC's. (Big grin)
ReplyDeleteI always like Neil Gamin's quotes much more than his books! This was a good one and I loved the graphic!
ReplyDeleteSo soft and feminine. I love it, dear Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet ATC. I feel a connection to the form :) I have read some books by Gaiman, but I'm unfamiliar with this quote. How true it is!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet Atc, Dr. E. and what a great friend you are!! Hope Sally had fun, looks like she enjoyed her birthday celebration with you!! x
ReplyDeleteCute ATC, Elizabeth. The phrase is very true. I think it's a good thing that people can adjust their expectations to be happy no matter what.
