ATC Challenge - September, Part 2

These are my creations Scrapping Clearly 2025 ATC Challenge - September prompts. Busy month, and it's been harder to keep up than I expected.

Week 38 ~ Numbers & Angles
I used patterned papers for each theme -  numbers {Prima Pretty Pale - Colorless} and angles {Kaisercraft Stargazer - Galactic}.

Week 39 ~ Ink & Water
I created a smooshy background with distress inks {Carved Pumpkin & Ripe Persimmon} and sprayed water. I added a fussy cut piece from an old planner printable {Cocoa Daisy - October 2017} and sentiment from Dina Wakley's Collage Words set.


I'm sharing this ATC at Simon Says Wednesday for the Anything Goes theme.

Outdoor exploring


I'm sharing this layout at:

Not sure how I feel about this page; I think it needs something more in the way of embellishments but nothing seemed to gel when I was putting it together.  Anyway, it's done and dusted now.  The layout was inspired by the Soul Scrappers September Screen 2 Scrap challenge, using design prompts from this movie poster:

* Lime green cardstock - One of my "guilty pleasure" colours!! Unfortunately I love it so much that these were the last few remaining pieces in my stash {DCWV Fairytale Floral patterned paper + Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety - Bloomers patterned paper}
* Black title {The Craft Stall Oh Happy Day! glitter foam alphabets}
* Bricks {Scrapbook Fantasies Aussie Grunge - Brickwork chipboard + Ranger/Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge distress ink}

ATC Challenge - trying to catch up!

These are catch-up creations for Scrapping Clearly 2025 ATC Challenge - July and August.  I'm still a bit behind!

Week 29 ~ Pop Art
Bright colours, and a quote attributed to Andy Warhol.


. - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 34 ~ Postcards
Stamping is not a go-to technique for me, but it was my starting point for this ATC.  I stamped Kaisercraft Postmarks clear stamp with Ranger/Tim Holtz Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink onto a patterned paper background {Glitz Designs}.  I layered up a postage stamp and small ephemera embellies {Tailored Travelling Stickers} and a touch of perforated washi tape.


I'm sharing this ATC at:

* Park Hopping ~ September
Theme park inspiration = Owl Post at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Orlando.

Week 35 ~ Steampunk
A snippet of old Graphic 45 {Steampunk Debutante - Modern Marvels patterned paper} was the perfect background.
