I ran some of my rusted paper through the Cuttlebug to emboss them then distressed them a little more with Ranger Distress Ink.
The old photo images were printed out on an adhesive backed transparency sheet, then I attached them to adhesive backed foil tape, which then gives the appearance of them being somewhat like the old "tin-type" photos.
I used slide folders on two of them, edged with copper tape and the third one is a tiny photo frame. I added a tassel to that one and vintage cotton lace to them all.
This next lot of ATCs were born from images and stash that has been even more cluttering up my work desk! However, anal retentive as I am, I couldn't stop until I had used all of my tiny frames that I have been hoarding FOR-EVA!!!

I cut up an old calendar to use for the backgrounds and used my new Bic texta type pens to add colour.

Nice work...I love how you always end up making umpteen ATC's...I struggle with making one at a time!
Thanx to all of you for stopping by and leaving such nice cawments...much appreciated.Debbi, when I start on a theme, I get into the "zone" and can't stop until I run out of images/embellishments...LOL
These cards are gorgeous.

It's very clever how you did the 'tin type' photoes. Nice thinking!
