Outside the Box ATC by C Sullivan

When we got this month's theme, Wendy said to think outside the box. I asked how we were to do that with an ATC. It seems to have such set boundaries and it is a bit small to get too crazy with. I thought about this for days and days then I remembered Mary Jo McGraw's book on materials. I don't have the book so I had to rely on my memory. It is not even close to difficult, Have fun with it.

 

Supplies:
Card
Xyron - Permanent Adhesive
Bits of Various Fibers
White Glue
Dragonfly Button

Directions:
Run the card through the Xyron machine - or coat card with glue.
Chop up pieces of fiber in the colors you want on the card.
Start piling pieces of fiber on the card.
Shake off the loose bits and pile them on again and again until you have it the way you want it.
If you need a few more pieces tacked on but they won't stick use just a tiny bit of white glue.
My button had a short shank so I was able to cut a small slit and push it right through the card
Pushing the button created a flap that I laid back down and it trapped the shank. Lucky coincidence.
Depending on the button or charm you may have to use glue, just don't use more than you need.
Trim the edges until you have the look you want.
