Fearless Flight


Hi everyone,

Today I would like to share a set of ATC's I made, my first using my new Visible Image set which is specifically designed for use with ATC's!! My ATC mojo has gone a bit walkabout right now, so I hoped this new set of stamps might help rekindle it!  I have caled this set "Fearless Flight".


For each ATC I created an ombre background by blending Distress Oxide inks, then I used the darkest shade with  a circle mask to create a sun. I stamped and heat embossed my tree and birds, and created my landscape with a hill mask and more Distress oxide. I 2nd generation stamped some Lavinia background words over part of the image, and added some clouds across the sun with a torn paper mask and blended DO. I finished off with some Sakura stardust pen highlights and a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker, before matting onto standard ATC size black linen card stock. 

Here's a close up of each ATC:
