A new ATC

Today I had several projects I wanted to get started on. I had been thinking about them all day. Then I get home and what happens? I see that the challenge on Theme Thursday is people with Hats. And that brings to mind a photo I took last year of my little buddy Garrett playing dress up. He had on fairy wings, a necklace and a hat and he was having a great time using his imagination playing that day. So, I started with that picture.. and then I took some stamps that had elements I wanted to use, but they were not in the proportion I wanted them, so I stamped them on white paper and scanned them. Then I brought them each as elements together, and cropped and played with it.. and this was the end result. This also goes well for the Wednesday Stamper Challenge -Fairy, and the Simon says stamp challenge, because all but one of the stamps I used were Tim Holtz stamps!


I guess I have been doing so many colorful things lately that black and white just worked for me tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to do some of those projects I didn't get to today. Thanks for visiting!
Peace & Love-
Risa
