Today I made these two ATCs for the UKstampers Sunday Challenge No. 22 the theme is Elements: make two ATCs using the same colour palette but different stamps.
I chose the weather element WIND.

Inks: Archival coffee, Adirondack woodlands, ColorBox ice blue chalk ink
Colouration: Prismas; reds, browns, yellows, oranges and greens (and Sansodor)
Stamps: windswept tree silhouette, Fall commuters, nature quote (aspects of design 25 rambling1), small twig and leaves, birds, free leaf stamp

I added a few cut out leaves around the edges of the House mouse one and some small cut out leaves to form a pile in the windswept tree ATC.

I made a few mistakes with this one. I tried to spray gold webbing spray onto metal but it didn’t stick so I then sprayed the metal with uhu glue first and then the gold webbing and this worked a bit better.

Inks and colours: pesto spray, gold webbing spray, red and green pens for glass
Stamp: Celtic swirls (Heritage Rubber stamp co.)
Materials: silver coloured metal, red/copper wire, green beads, gold and silver micro beads, green/brown fluffy fibre

November ATC swap

ATC, velvet, vintage

vintageVetvet

I finally finished my ATCs for the CBC swap, the theme this month was vintage or velvet so I incorporated both. The gold leafing was done first by running the blank card through a xyron then dunking the sticky side onto the gold leaf. I then took a stiff brush and brushed off the excess gold leaf. Parts of the ribbon were coloured with brown permanent pen. The velvet bit it the brown material cut from an old top, and the vintage parts are pictures.
