Flight of a closed door, day nine

Today brings us to the end of the Door ATC series. This one is called Door & Poultry. This all started on August 2, 2001 so you can go back to that post to see the stamp credits. I recently read that today only 16% of Americans are considered to be living in "Rural America". You don't know what you are missing living in the city. I have a black and white cat( and many others in a rainbow of colors) outside my door quite often. I've had a brown dog outside my door and a Dalmatian used to live across the street. There are horses and chickens next door. Pigs and cows live nearby. Quite a few hamburgers and BBQs are in the area. I didn't make an ATC with a peacock or an ostrich or a slug or a frog or a praying mantis outside the door, but I've had them all. I've lived in other rural areas and had deer regularly outside my door. Once there was a bear. Some days it's the Schwan's man at the door, or the Watkin's lady, or the Avon lady, or the "Church" lady or man. In years past I've even had a student asking for help with their homework! Grab a door stamp and create your own Door ATC series!

Flight of a closed door, day eight

Here is a pink piggy with some friends outside the door. The ATC is called Door & Piggy (w/ flies). Stamp credits for this ATC series are on the August 2, 2011 post.  I forgot to check and it
appears that blogger failed to load the day eight and day nine posts when they were supposed to.
I don't think anybody is reading anyway so I guess it doesn't matter!

With all the strange things going on outside the door perhaps these doors are on Wisteria Lane. Today's ATC is called Door & Kitty.

Whoops! Yesterday's cow had a run in with the butcher. The ATC is called Door & Burger (w/BBQ). The BBQ and burger stamps are from the Basic Grey Limited Edition Alpha Set, which I also purchased on Crop Chocolate. You will find more product info for this ATC series on the August 2, 2011 post.

Flight of a closed door, day two


What else may be outside a closed door? Today you find a horse!
This ATC is called Door and Old Gray Mare.
The shrub stamp I believe is a Stamp Francisco Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers issue.
I have no idea who made the punches used.
More stamp credits for this ATC series can be found on the August 2, 2011 post.

Flight of a closed door, day one

The next few days you will get to see all of the ATCs I have prepared for the Summer ATC swap on Crop Chocolate. It was a lot of fun using Copic markers to do all the coloring. Some of them even include use of the air brush at which I am a real novice. The animal stamps all came from Crop Chocolate and are part of the Basic Grey Limited Edition Epsilon set. The door, many of the foliage items, and the pots and baskets are from the two English Garden sets by Art Impressions. Some of the other leaves and flowers are from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I hope you enjoy this series of Artist Trading Cards. Today's card is called Door & Brown Puppy.
