Blowing In the Wind (2)

Hi everyone, this month’s theme for Tracy Evans FB ATC swap is silhouettes, and I decided that for once I would pull my finger out and get them done in good time. I started out with a particular idea in my mind, but when I started getting my supplies together I realised it wouldn’t work as I hoped so I decided to go in a different direction. Whilst riffling through my stamp drawer I found a silhouette stamp that not only had I forgotten about, I’d never inked it up!! It spoke to me as being perfect for this theme as it enabled me to make some specific “October” autumnal ATC’s. 

I cut 4 pieces of white card each 3.25” x 2.25” and created the backgrounds by smooshing Elements inks then spattering with water. I stamped onto each one in Pinecone VFC - my A7 stamp was more or less the perfect size for an ATC to form both the focal point and background.  I then stamped again onto separate pieces of cream card, fussy cut  the leaf and attached to each ATC, then cut out the sentiment “Blowing In the Wind” and attached that too after stamping a teeny bird to sit on it. I stamped the word “Oct” (October) onto separate snippets of card, fussy cut and attached, then edged each panel with brown ink and matted onto brown linen card stock cut to standard ATC size.

Here is a closeup of one of them.
