What a great inspiration site! I love crate label art and I loved all of the ones on the site. It was hard to pick one, so I picked three. Bickford Apple Alden Pear Sunflower
I temporarily attached all 3 ATCs side by side to a piece of paper. After stamping and masking the images, I stamped a script using one end of a Kpad. I colored the images using markers and a blender. They were cut out and attached to a green layer I cut using a Spellbinders scallop edge square. I used my Nestie Resizing Technique to stretch the die to fit my image.
For the background of the ATCs, I stamped various butterfly, netting and swirl images then masked areas and sponged on bands of color. They're attached to slightly larger layers of red then to a green layer that was stamped tone on tone using some of the same images. It's attached to a 8.75 x 4.25 gold ochre card. A little bit of an old size, but it will fit inside a #10 business envelope. I used a 1/4 inch punch and a stylus to create some red and green faux brads and attached them in opposite corners.
Thank so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is incredibly beautiful!! Love the atc's and the way you have framed them up so perfectly. I'll have to try and check out that technique for the resizing.
