I played with my melting pot and beeswax again today. I made this atc for the Ranger monthly challenge. This month we had to use predominently red and Ranger products. I used Ranger beeswax pellets, red and gold perfect pearls, red stickles, patterned paper, and napkins. I liked it so much that I made a dozen more of them for my local atc group's swap this month with Romance as the theme. What do you think of them?

Here is one of the atc's I made for my ATCDivas group. This month's topic was movie-stars. I used my Marilyn Monroe set finally on a Simple Green Spritz background. Stamped her name onto ribbon with StayZon ink. I like how they turned out.

I made my atc's for my British group using some old backgrounds I had in a drawer. I used shrink plastic and stamped the dragonflies and then colored the backs with colored pencils and shrunk. I wrapped gold stretch cord around and added a few beads, stamped and embossed in black the verse. Hope they like them when they arrive!
