Here is Mushy House! This cutie of an image is from Anita's Digital Designs, one of our ATC's and Cards with Attitude sponsors (our other sponsor is Saturated Canary!).
For this challenge, I made a true ATC. Remember they measure 2.5x3.5, but you can do anything you would like- a card, an ATC, or a card ATC! And you don't even have to use our sponsor images, but it would be nice of you. Last weeks winner of digis from Fresh Brewed Designs is #46, Rina Fashionista. Congrats, Rina!
I colored this Mushy House up on vellum with Prisma Pencils and OMS, showing the penciled side of the vellum. Then I added a little Fisher's punch top border and 3 handmade roses made out of DP. On the rose, I stuck wire up through the middle and added a little "cone" at the tip (you know that single piece that is left over from making roses.) I added some clouds by using a template and masking and sponging them in with chalk ink. Then I colored in the rest of the background, and foreground, finishing off with white gel pen dots for flowers. There are some pink pencil flowers mixed in there too. Topped off the roses with a butterfly decorated with tiny pearls. (Very special butterfly sent to me by a very special friend!) That's all I did! With this image being so adorable, it makes a very nice focal point without much fuss. Do you agree? You could take the ATC from here and make it into a card, adding some scallop edging and ribbon? Another backing of vellum on some cool DP? It would turn out great!

I have finally decided what this card makes me think of. I have an oil paining in my house that my husband's grandma painted (she was an artist of the highest caliber...) This reminds me of that! The flowers, the clouds, the mountain scape, Just lovely! I need to try one of these ATCs... You are truly an inspiration!
