ATC Pattern

• Cut your ATC:  2.5 in x 3.5 in (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm)
  
• For this ATC I cut acrylic paint paper to the ATC size
• I then took different shades of yellow and orange acrylic paint and painted the background. 
  
• I started with the lightest shade of yellow across the entire background.  It is hard to see, but that is a very pale yellow not white in the background. 
  
• Then I took my brightest yellow and liberally applied it to most of the canvas using a dry brush so you can see the brush marks. 
  
• Finally I took a more orange color and applied it in a circular pattern in the center.
  
• Let the paint dry completely - if the paper curls a little you can always use the assistance of a heavy object or two and let the weight flatten your ATC.

Quilled SUN

• 1 strip of Yellow and 1 strip of Orange quilling paper
• I started with the yellow and turned it about 8 times and then I looped in the orange
• I did not glue them together, I simply rolled both colors so that you could see both
• When I added the orange, I added it to the inside so that when I ended the Yellow was on the outside
• When I got to the end I cut the orange to the length of the yellow
• I created a loose coil shape so I let it open up and then glued both ends down
• I then took various lengths of Yellow and quilled spiral shapes
• I then arranged the spirals around the sun for the rays of sunshine
• Note: For this project, I glued the sun directly to the painted ATC background as I made and arranged each of the quilled elements
