Up on display

The works of Sharon and Lia are now in our store on display!!! GORGEOUS!

Sharon's assignment was a pack of ATC cards and she's played with loads of techniques (which we are still trying to grasp in her loooong list of notes!) but she says it's all about playing with inks and "having fun!". Come have a look for yourself and we'll try our best to explain how Sharon did it! Just a warning that some of the products she's used won't be in store til next month. Sorry!





Lia confessed that she's not a mini-album person but she felt a great sense of accomplishment after completing this SEI 'Family' album. We're so proud of you too!

Hi Princess ..

Aww shucks thanks for the compliments ..

Its all about the playing and testing of products to see what they can do .. and well reading what other designers doing with the products to get the effects ..

I am sure with going for classes and playing, you can be even better than me .

Shabby Chic said...

Hi Princess,

There were no clear stamps in the recent new arrivals but we expect several new clear stamps that has just been released this season. Stay tuned :)

Vivs said...

I very much like the new arrivals and more alphas available. Still i prefer the AC thickers. Will there be any possibility for SC to re-order the AC thickers, except for the vinyl type though? cos i found vinyl isnt suitable for our humid weather here-kept fall out.

thanks shabby chic crews!

Shabby Chic said...

Hi Vivs!

Life is certainly sweeter with AC Thickers :) There will definitely be more coming. Stay tuned!

hi shabby chic, what a delectable stash you have there! just wondering, what is the purpose of the small cards created by sharon? are they ATC? what's the purpose of ATCs? whilst i think they are really beautiful, can't help but wonder what the purpose is.

Shabby Chic said...

Hey Snazzy Jazzie,

ATC stands for Artist Trading Cards and traditionally, it's purpose is for an 'artist' to design several cards and trade some with other artists (or you can think of it as name cards).

ATC is a big hit with some scrappers as it gives them the opportunity to create smaller designs and the ability to display them on a 'carousel'. Some use themes like 'Family' or 'Friends' on their ATC carousel. As for Sharon, her ATCs is a showcase of her work of art and the different techniques she has used to get different effects. It really is lovely!

hee! Didn't realise there was a conversation going on here! :)

You guys NEED to go down to the store to check out Sharon's ATCs - they're soooo gorgeous lah! I kept ooh-ing and aah-ing, and choosing my favs - 'I like this one! Ooo, this one is soo me!' ... like hinting, I want that one? hah!
