Mixed Media ATCs Start-to-finish Tutorial

[@jennyannart]

Omg wow 😍😍😍 your work is stunning

[@anemonamora]

Thank you so much Jenny!

[@terimurphy9400]

I just recently started to hear about ATC's and am intrigued so I've been researching them as to what they are, how to make them and the purpose of them. I must say that of all the videos I've watched your cards are the most detailed and stunning of all of them. Many others seem to be just random bits and bobs thrown down with no thought to design or style that render a finished product that just looks like a hot mess with no purpose to me. Yours are actually attractive and convey a message. I understand that everyone likes different things and has different skill sets and materials to work with. I'm not trying to be negative about anyone's art, just trying to find something that will inspire me to want to create my own little ATC's within my own skills and style using the items I have on hand without having to buy a lot of new things. I think you've hit it on the nail here. These are delightful and I can see myself attempting to do something similar in the near future. I do have most of what you used or similar from having a play at mixed media art a while back that never really turned into anything so I'd be happy to put those things to good use. None of the other ATC's I've seen motivated me to even want to try. Thank you for sharing your inspirational art. Your work is top notch!

[@cheryl7476]

for well over a year now, I find myself coming back to this wonderful and inspiring video, whenever I feel stuck, wondering what to do for a card. I always come up with lots of ideas, each and every time. I thank you ever so much.

[@anemonamora]

Awwww, thanks a bunch Cheryl!

[@ajsdesigns953]

You are so creative! Love your use of color and your eye for a fantastic composition! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@anemonamora]

Sandra, these turned out just awesome. The colors are beautiful and you do such a great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@anemonamora]

Thanks so much Gayle, glad you like them! :) xx

[@sharonw2008]

hi Sandra, I love these! loved watching the process and how each one is completely different xx

[@anemonamora]

+Sharon Walker Thank you so much Sharon! :) xx

[@elsieb3176]

The most beautiful ATCs I've ever seen! Layer upon layer upon layer, all adding to the final result. I kept thinking, "What do I have that can get that effect?" I do wonder who the copy editor was for the phrase pack. Everyday means ordinary. Every day means each day. Someone there goofed. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@anemonamora]

Thanks so much, Elsie, happy you like it! The words came from a Donna Downey set called Empowered Words 💗xoxo

[@sueknibbs7783]

Oh dear, I kept thinking they must be finished, but no! Just one stunning layer after another until they were so amazing I was holding my breath. I have subscribed, my housework will have to wait until I have watched a heap more of your clips! It's just gone midnight (New Zealand) I have to force myself to go to bed, but I know what I will be doing when I get up in the morning! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent!

[@anemonamora]

You just made my day Sue! Thank you so very much!

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

Love the blending of colors on this one, and the texture. Linda

[@cheryl7476]

Sandra, you make such cool stuff! Today, I find myself watching yet another one of your videos, rather than doing chores and making my own art, for I find your work so fascinating and inspiring. I really do hope, you will be inclined to make more videos of you making your beautiful pieces. After I finish watching this video, I am going to hide my tablet and get some work done! Thanks, for I have been thoroughly entertained and inspired today!!!

[@anemonamora]

Thank you so very much, so happy you liked the video!

[@darscreativecave3469]

Hi Sandra what is the product you are using? Are they water colour crayons?

[@anemonamora]

They are called Gelatos and they are from Faber Castell. Yes, they are water based

[@Tindaloo76]

Many thanks June 😊😘

[@LoveoftheDarkFiberArts]

The little geometric cut out things...what are those called? Where can we find them?

[@anemonamora]

Thanks so much Zira! You mean the chipboard? I think it was from Blue Fern Studio and I guess all the big online scrapbook shops carry them. 😊 😘

[@btoth31]

I love your work. But one thing I can never seem to do: use gesso to tone down colors. Can't bring myself to do that. 😊

[@anemonamora]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video! 💗xoxo

[@MiniTafoya-u9b]

It really didn't need the torn papers in my opinion, just maybe some rub ons, a little splatter, some twine, some filigree metal pieces and done... love the back ground the color combos and that black sure made it pop...

[@novafalcosmith]

Well done ❤❤❤

[@aprilsmommy1]

These are beautiful! Just subscribed. Love watching your videos. Looking forward to trying some of your techniques :) TFS

[@anemonamora]

Thanks so much Nancy

[@zumphf]

Looks interesting but I just wish you would explain exactly what you are doing for those of us that have never done this before.

[@anemonamora]

Hi Sue and thanks for your comment. All the videos on this channel are free videos, just for inspiration, for detailed, no sped up videos you need to buy online workshops, either from me (I have a 20% sale, you can read this post www.artfulflight.com/2017/09/09/welcome-autumn-workshops-sale-and-what-is-on-my-working-table-today/) or from another fellow artist. Or you can attend a live workshop i your area. Hope this helps. Best regards, Sanda

[@dreamwoodsbutterfly]

You've inspired me!

[@anemonamora]

Happy for that Teri! Many thanks

[@vickikroll9570]

Amazing!!

[@anemonamora]

Thanks so much Jayne :) xx

[@robindonnelly]

None of your links work. Your FB page, and your store and website says it's unsafe. Love your work though but I can't get to your store and website.

[@anemonamora]

Hi Robin, that's weird, I didn't have any complaints until now. Anyway, all links are working and they are safe. If i can help in any way please let me know. Many thanks, xxx

[@averysgranny]

Robin and Sanda.... I'm having the same issue, says its unsafe, and won't allow me to go any further, its says there is no https.

[@btoth31]

I can't access either

[@JudiChristopher]

I got through... safe and sound thank you for sharing this great tutorial

[@tealwingz]

I really like your use of color and design elements, but I have to agree with Em M, the video is a bit fast. I looked for the "speed" setting, but there IS none. Also, can you zoom in a little next time, that would help us to see all that is going on while you make your magic. Thanks!

[@anemonamora]

Thank you so much! You can adjust the speed, click on the wheel (right bottom corner), then click on speed and then on 0.5 ❤️xoxo

[@anastasiasholeinthehollerc8697]

Very nice.

[@GTNana2]

Awesome!

[@roesta-iljabies4806]

You have done a great job and love the colors !! :-)

[@anemonamora]

Thank you so much Roesta!

[@JudiChristopher]

I love It!!!

[@anemonamora]

Thanks so much, Judi, happy you like it! 💗xoxo

💝💝Beautiful💝💝

[@anemonamora]

ShelbyRae Lane Thanks a million 😍❤️😘

[@sharondunn8957]

Best I’ve seen😅

[@sdmfann7768]

This would be really great if you used a different font tha is easier to read at the speed you are going and you take the products that you are using away from the camera to fast to see what the are.

[@anemonamora]

You can slow down the speed from the settings button ( the little wheel on the right corner. Hope this helps

[@jlm517rocks]

Beautimous

[@anemonamora]

Thank you so much Judy :) xx

Thank you Michelle 💗xoxo

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

cute 🥰🥰

[@emm2636]

Your film is so fast I cant make out the products that you show on camera. Its too fast. Slow it down please.

[@anemonamora]

Hi Em M, thank you for your comment. You can find and read the blog post with a list of the products I have used here www.artfulflight.com/2015/10/15/mixed-media-atc-start-to-finish-video-tutorial/ You can also slow down the video, KZbin has this option now in settings, click speed and then 0.5 Hope this helps

[@wonderwend]

I just don't get why people spend all that time and effort to make a beautiful colour background and then completely obliterate it by covering it in gesso. Seems pointless to me given you can't see any of it through it.

[@chadmunger1602]

These are spectacular! 😍😍😍😍 @anonymous.palette

[@deborahlongmore2522]

What is the final silver stuff is it pigment? What did you mix it with please?
