Sending Sweet Sentiments with ATCs
Good day, G45ers!
It's a beautiful day for some Spring Artist Trading Card inspiration. We have two projects and one tutorial that will simply delight! Also, we have a sneak peek of the fun going on over at the Paper Crafter's Library blog. First, we have a beautiful ATC by Maiko Miwa and then a great ATC tutorial by Nichola Battilana.
First, let's begin with Maiko's whimsical ATC using Sweet Sentiments. It's just perfect for Spring and a great creation to give away or keep around your home!

Tute
1. Gather all of your materials. I like to fussy cut a whole bunch of elements to choose from and always more than I think I’ll need. Here I’ve used Sweet Sentiments All My Love on an ATC staples tag for the base.
2. Next I start to layer elements like the “Spring” tag from Sweet Sentiments Chipboard and Sweet Sentiments Tags & Pockets.
3. Using foam dots, I create depth to my fussy cut pieces. This rabbit but from Sweet Sentiments will be the focal point of this ATC tag.
4. Slowly, I build up my design, filling out the space.
5. The layers of fussy cut flowers add visual interest and dimension.
6. With all of those little pieces now in place, I create texture by adding petals from a Textured Elements flower from Petaloo.
7. Now some coordinating May Arts Ribbon.
8. And finally some little butterflies cut from Heart Song to finish off the piece.
All done!
We've got one more special treat for you G45ers today! Anne Rostad of our Design Team is being featured on today's Paper Crafter's Library blog! It is an absolutely breathtaking Sweet Sentiments easel calendar that will inspire and delight! Go and visit Paper Crafter's Library blog to see the joy.

I love these ATC's. It is truly amazing what you can do with paper. It has to be G45 paper though to get such beautiful designs.
