This will be the last ATC Lotto held on the ARTchix Studio Yahoo Group. The owner, Helga Strauss is ready to move away from the Yahoo group after 9 years... that's quite a tenure! Of course has her website. I will miss the Yahoo Group, but as my son Decklin (Maeve) says, "things change." This is so true! Hats off to ARTchix Studio - here's my entry for the Easter/Spring Hats Lotto.

I took this image from an ARTchix Studio collage sheet. I added a transparency butterfly from the In my Garden sheet, a small paper butterfly from the Papillons collage sheet and 2 different images of flowers plus birds in a nest (Vintage scrap paper). The base of the ATC is watercolor paper.

I rubbed a green VersaCraft ink pad over the front of it to add color and then sprinkled a bit of psychedelic embossing powder on the edges while it was wet and heat set it to melt the embossing powder. Then I added a few flower beads and leaves, a fabric flower and a wee bit of stardust prisma glitter to make her spring hat shimmer!!! What fun. It is my understanding the ARTchix lotto will continue …

See you there! lenna young andrews - April 1, 2010
