Vintage ATCs

I have made three different ATCs for the ukstampers ATC swap for May. This month’s theme is Vintage; which can mean different things to different people…so….

vintageCar

This is a vintage car stamped onto vellum and stuck onto backing paper with the sign, in a lighter colour, underneath so it stands out. The top and bottom edges are just cut paper.

Ink: black documents ink
Card: beige vellum, paper from Hot off the press-Heritage
Stamp: B line designs car cube

vintagePhoto

This one is a vintage photo. I rubbed Distress ink over white glossy card then inked the stamp with espresso, wiped a little off and added caramel fondant then stamped onto the card. I layered the image over some script vellum and ivory card, and added photo corners cut form scrap paper. I added a touch of pink to her shoes and belt using a copic marker and tiny gem.

Inks: Adirondack espresso, Stampin up caramel fondant, Distress ink antique linen
Card: glossy white, ivory, script vellum, scrap brown wood grain paper
Stamp: ballet dancer (unknown)
Other: pink gem and copic marker tender pink

vintageWine

Vintage wine was stamped then coloured using water colour pencils. I added a label, vellum, brad and a sprig with grapes to embellish it. The grapes are highlighted with a little Diamond glaze. I edged the ATC with gold wax and smudge a little wax over it to age it a little.

Inks: black document ink, versamark with gold embossing powder
Card: white, Label: green card embossed and rubbed with gold wax, gold paper embossed
Stamps: Aspects of design 6 – nature, WS designs wine set
Other: beige vellum, bronze brad, metallic rub on wax, Diamond glaze
