Today is the second day of the Artistic Projects for Innovative Stamp Creations. Today's inspiration was a trio of ATCs where the design spans across all 3 ATCs. I don't work with the ATC format much - I find the 2.5 by 3.5 inch area confining to me - but I have seen some great works of art created these small spaces!
To span the design across all three I created the background first (the paper is 3.5 by 7.5):
I used pink ink to color the paper, embossed the flowers and then blended and stamped over top - an emboss resist. I then cut them into the ATC size.
Here are all 3:

Close up of the flower:
Each of the words are stamped behind film strip ribbon.

I like the way you did the background first, then finished each card. They go well together that way. Great job. Edna B.
What a KNOCKOUT, Kat!! Absolutely gorgeous is EVERY way!! Your "backdrop" is totally beautiful ... love all the little details you added that make it such a stand out! :)
I really like this one.
Isn't that embossed resist great?? These are just wonderful, love the color combos, and what a great idea to make it big, then cut it down!
This is fabulous, Kat! Love the colors, the resist and your wonderful flower.
Wow, your work always leaves me amazed!
Love the effect the resist technique produces. Would look great as an art quilt. Victoriamama
OH KAT!! I love this!! And your project yesterday too!! ok....maybe the mass produced thank you cards need to get shoved aside and I just need to make something for the sake of creating!! (yeah, right! snort!)
Hey KAT! Love the Yellow!!!
this is so totally gorgeous.....a real artsy feel to it...love the colors as well....high fives on this beauty
Gorgeous ATCs, Kat!!
I love the triptych (sp) feel to this. I like the yellow too. You don't use yellow a lot. My favorite is the butterfly. I need to dig out all my butterfy stamps and just make a bunch of cards with them. Good crop idea!!!!

Absolutely FABULOUS artwork!
Beautiful ATC's, love how you did the background!!
I'm a big fan of your work! The film strip ribbon and word stamps really caught my eye on your ATCs. Thank you for sharing your work!
I'm so inspired!

I just finished my mosaic card I'll try the ATC's tomorrow. They look harder than the mosaic!
Gorgeous colors and I love the emboss resist. Fabulous card!
Too cool and that flower is superb. Great card!
I just love these how very clever.
lovely, the elements are great, I would love to know how to make a flower like this one.
I love the way you did the background first and then the ATC cards. Lovely colors
This is beautiful, I love the butterfly, bird and flower! Thanks for sharing. ~Diane

I love these!

Wonderful card! That flower and the background are great! Hugs, pat
Beautiful work!
Not only are these beautiful ATCs, the idea of creating a larger background is clever - overcomes some of the size restriction when creating. Thankyou for sharing; it's given me some good ideas for my own work.
My first visit here and what wonderful work this really caught my eye :)
