more ATC's?!

yep. what can i say, i was longing to make some anyway, and then the very sweet and thoughtful tanis sent me that cool pack of vintage goodness from the paper flea market, and it seemed like the perfect "thank you" to make her a little something! or in this case, *three* little somethings:


for some reason, i am loving to make these three at a time, like a little triptyc! i used a lot of orange and brown since those are tanis' favorite colors. also it fit perfectly with some vintage images i already had in my stash. also...ok...there really isn't a second "also"...that's just sort of how these came out! :) again, i've glued bits of sewing pattern all over the place, letting it bunch up a bit for some texture. i filled in the backgrounds with a bit of stamping, a lot of inking and a few miscellaneous rub-ons. i was...and am...pretty happy with them, and i hope miss tanis will enjoy receiving them with my renewed ♥THANKS♥!
