| Both are ATC Gatefolds and the background for the girl above is made from Acrylic Squishings |
If I said making this was easy, I would be telling a big fat fib..................and swore I would never do another one...............but have already nearly completed 2 more................lol
If you would like to make one, this is the recipe............tore up lots of different bits of paper (including music sheets, which you cannot see) and glued them over the ball with modge podge, topped it with two more coatings of modge podge. After it was completely dry then painted it in various acrylic paints. Stamped on tissue and then glued it onto the ball, this was the hard part as circular objects are not easy. Finished it off with Modge Podge Sparkle and then a coat of Modge Podge Gloss. Pushed wire through the centre and threaded some beads.
Jean has very kindly shown the above make on her Crafty Individuals Blog along with other fabulous makes from other crafters and the DT.
If your would like to win either of the 2 Gatefold ATC's please leave a comment below and I will do the draw on Friday.
Thank you for popping in and take care of yourselves. Hugs Annette xx

These projects are wonderful. I love the colours. You would never guess what the base was on your hanger, great job!
Love your cards and the bauble is fantastic! Hugs, Valerie
Oh my goodness Netty - these gatefolds are just so amazing - the depth and contrast of the colours you manage to create are awesome. I would love to hold one in my hand so that I could see it and study it close up - the it would be on permanent display for lots of inspiration in the future in my studio shed.
The bauble is stupendous too - it looks like reflections of scenes in glass - I can't begin to imagine how you created that effect. And yes, I can believe how hard it must be to work on a 'ball' shape - but you sound as though you have mastered it!
Like it???
Nettie I love them.
Your work is amazing and very inspiring.
Lobe them.
xoxo
Hello dear Netty,
Hope you're well.
Your cards are so pretty with so much detail! And your Christmas tree bauble is wonderful. I can imagine how much time it took. Hugs xxx
Three gorgeous creations Annette and who wouldn't want to be the proud owner of one of them. Thanks for the chance to win one.
I bought some of those baubles last year but was too daunted to have a go at decorating them so well done you for creating such a beautiful piece of art.
Hugs

The bauble looks fantastic, but I don't one would appear on my to do list. I'll leave it to the experts like yourself.
It goes with out saying I would love to re-home one of your gorgeous makes.

The cards are just beautiful as well as the ornament, but don't think I would be patient enough to make the ornament. LOL

Its so good to be back here in blogland. I did see some of your project on FB but they are so tiny on my phone. Much prettier on my big computer screen. All three of these Items look amazing my crafty friend.

The gatefolds are amazing and am glad I am in time for the draw as I would love to own one of your "original " They are just stunning, super and full of bold colours as only you know how to do ! ( Is that enough crawling ) ! As for the bauble sounds much too tricky but looks fabulous you must have so much patience.
Marie
