This was made for the Oriental Stamp Art Yahoo group swap for the dragon theme. I just had to make one ATC, and discovered I only have one dragon stamp- that fit exactly! I colored the image with Copics. Well, part of the image- the gold Kimono is from recycled paper towel I used to clean up a shimmery spray. I added a strip of no hole beads on the edge on a sticky strip.
A better view of the shimmer.
This one was made using more recycled shimmery paper towel. I stamped the Hero Arts image on the background and re-stamped just the butterfly, fussy cut it out and added the beads in the centers. I also added the beaded strip on the edge attached to sticky strip.
I bought the beads at a garage sale : )

Love your recycle project! I love using things like that. Another fav of mine is wax paper. I always use a little wax paper with my dies and I hate throwing the die cut wax paper out so I try to use them in some way with another card.
What a great way to create some beautiful pieces! Love the idea of the recycling again! You are too clever!!! :^)
Hugs, Penny
I always love when you share your amazing ATC designs, Shelly! Such beauty in such a tiny space! Awesome work!
Shelley these are just super! What beautiful atcs, rich in color and design. Fabulous work - you have such a flair for these and have mastered them!
omg Shelly these are phenomenal!! Wow!! So much details.
Great ATC's. I really like the dragon. It is a very unique piece.
Wowsa, the dragon is a spectacular image which I like a lot, especially the way you coloured it. The butterflies are lovely... I know I keep saying it but I so admire the way you keep trying and mastering new techniques. I need to get out of this rut and try some of them.
WOW!! These ATCs are amazing! Love that detailed dragon image and the recycling is such a clever idea too!!
How clever and creative to use a paper towel that you cleaned up paint with. Amazing ATCs and I am sure your swap partners were thrilled. Hope you have a great week!
Thanks for sharing your lovely crafting for Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 98 - hope to see you again soon, Hazel, DT x
