Three Raven ATCs

The nevermore stamp set from amuse studio has a lot of dark victorian images plus 5 different text images (not really sentiments, unless you think a line from "The Raven" would make a good sentiment for a card), and they combine well together.  Case in point is this raven and this stack of books.

I like the way the raven looks on the books, but these are not the type of images that need coloring, so I thought I would give a shot to coloring outside the images.  The first one shown was colored with Twinkling H2Os, the second with acrylic paint, and the third one is done with copic markers. A tiny dot of red marks the raven's eye.

These are single layer ATCs, which is really hard to commit to if you know the stamping community.  I love making ATCs, because the goal with an ATC is to create art, not stationery.  I already have plans to swap them.
