I have something fun and different to show
you.. Well at least it's different for me.
It's a chunky ATC. I had seen these on a couple of
other blogs and fell in love with them. So I have been saying
forever that I wanted to try one.
I started off with a sketch and then painted her
with Watercolors.. I had every intention of taking photos
of my process. But got so caught up in the process that all
I got was a photo of the sketch.
So here she is all painted up and pretty.
A chunky ATC is a block of wood that is the same
size as a playing card. Only a lot thicker.

I really enjoy every step of creating this
Little cutie.. I can't wait to try another.
I had fun using the crackle paint on the
block of wood. I just love the look it gives.
After I was done painting my face.
I cut her out and used mod podge to
glue her down to the block. I have to say I just
love that mod podge.
And then used all kinds of embellishments
to make her all pretty.
I just wanted to give a shout out to a couple of talented
gals who gave me the inspiration to create my chunky ATC.
Thanks so much Jan and Lynn!

Hi Linda, your chunky is beautiful and love your design. So many crafters turn them into steam punk statement, but I much prefer yours. Happy PPF and have a blessed Easter, Annette x
Beautiful creation, love the drawing. Happy Easter!
chunky ATCs - I love it!! This is just so cute - I could imagine any little girl wanting these to adorn their bedrooms. I agree with you about crackle glaze, I love it too. Can I ask is the WISH on the back a stamper or did you hand write it? I love it!
That is very pretty!!!!
