Hello Friends
I apologise for my long absence and lack of visits, hopefully by early next month
I will be be in a better position to rectify that, I hope you will bear with me....
This month at Art With Heart we are not having a challenge (and things are being changed up for future months). Eileen Hull has released some fabulous new products at CHA (like the cantilever sewing box I featured here and here) and Eileen has also re-released some all time favourite dies. One of these is the large Artist Trading Block (ATB) die (Szzix 658983) which is my personal favourite. The Design Team are showcasing these re-released dies during this month.
First up is my Artist Trading Block Storage Cabinet, details of which can be found here. I used some fabulous G45 papers to cover the cabinet. This shows how versatile the ATB die is, you can create 3D projects with it.
Another favourite is an Andy Skinner inspired ATB, made using DecoArt products and Andy's Faux Letterpress Technique (details here)
I hope you can see how wonderfully versatile the Artist Trading Block (ATB) die is. I have made houses with it - and even a steam train, it is such a fun die to use.
Edited: I have had some very exciting news. Thanks to Eileen Hull and Jo Packham of 'Where Women Create' I have had four pieces published in Sizzix's newest book release 'Make it a Party'. I am so thrilled and honoured, it is a beautiful book and wonderfully illustrated and it is my first time ever being published!!
Thanks for looking, take care and I hope to see you soon!
Hugs, Anne xx

ReplyDeleteLovely to see those gorgeous boxes again and many congratulations on your samples being published - I am not surprised and so well deserved.
ReplyDeletehugs Brenda xxx
These are absolutely astonishing, completely "out of the box" for me. I almost cannot choose a favourite. The Valentine one is terrific with the red and the turquoise and I'm glad DH appreciates it and I love the zizaggy bit on the elephant one. I see you have details on how you made these so am off to have a look at artwork so different from my own, therefore fascinating.
ReplyDeleteAnne you are 'The Queen' of the ATB . Every one of your pojects you have chosen to showcase I remember admiring greatly when I first saw them and seeing them again I'm doing just the same . They are superb , artistic creativity at its best.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations too on being published and not juts with one piece but four !! So very much deserved . I am so so pleased for you
big hugs xx
