Hi everyone, today I would like to share a set of ATC's I made with Tracy Evans' new stamps. over the past few months I haven't really been making ATC's except for organised themed swaps, so last week I decided to make a set "just because" so that I can trade them individually.
I cut four pieces of white card, each 3.25" x 2.25", and stamped and heat embossed the background stamp in white. I then created a layered inky background for each one by smooshing two or three different colours of Distress Oxide ink and applying with acetate, then randomly stamping parts of the text from the background text in a colour to match the background. I stamped the birds onto separate card, fussy cut and attached, added white gel pen highlights and used an Inktense pencil to "ground" them. I stamped some little birdy footprints into the bottom corner, and drew a doodly circle onto each ATC with a fine liner pen in a colour to co-ordinate with the background. Finally I stamped, cut out and attached my sentiments, matted the finished panels onto black linen cardstock, and applied some sparkle to the wings in the background with my Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.
Here is a closeup of each ATC.

Almost impossible to choose a fav from these four Pauline, if pushed top left, but only because of the colours. Great resist stamping to set off the birds. I imaging Tracy's new stamps are perfect for ATC as most seems to be quite small. Many thanks for joining us at Allsorts.
