ATC Challenges - April, part 1

I'm enjoying the mini art challenges at the Scrapping Clearly 2025 ATC Challenge even more than I expected! I finished these ones in April - 

Week 14 ~ Metallic Elements
This was the fifth challenge from last month (posted Monday 31 March). The three metallic fish are shank buttons from my habby stash (with the shank snipped off).

Week 15 ~ Vintage Ephemera
I went with a black and white Audrey Hepburn theme.  The ephemera stickers have been in my stash for many years {Authentique Classique - Components}. Lace, trim and pearl pin from my habby stash.

Image credit: Fandom

I included these criteria - 

* Black {cardstock}, green and yellow {product packaging}
* Stars {crystal stickers}
* One photo

The product packaging is from a bar of Wavertree & London soap, and it was so pretty I couldn't throw it away... like any obsessed scrapbooker I put it aside a few years ago to use 'one day'.

ATC challenge - March

I'm enjoying the mini art challenges at the Scrapping Clearly 2025 ATC Challenge. I finished these ones in March - 

Week 10 ~ Stencil Art
Stencil Girl Terri Stegmiller - Scribble Blooms stencil
Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Mustard Seed and Wild Honey

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

Week 11 ~ Gel print patterns
I don't have a gel plate, so I watched a few tutorials on faux gel press printing.  Nicole Watt's video was fun to watch, easy to follow, and very helpful!  I used a rubber embossing mat, with acrylic paints {Kaisercolour Olive and Making Memories Scrapbook Colors - Chocolate}.

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

Week 12 ~ Fabric and Fibre
Small scraps from my habby stash, with a themed chipboard sentiment {Basic Grey Lucille collection}. YAY for using old stash!  Background cardstock is one of my gel print failures - see previous week's challenge... 

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

Week 13 ~ Charcoal
This was something different for me.  I learned how to make charcoal paint from Louise D'Alise, an artist I discovered on YouTube.  Painted some large brushstrokes for my background, and added some diecuts {Pink Paislee Indigo & Ivy Ephemera}.

Inspired by, and sharing at, these challenges:
