Fun With ATC's Vintage

So hows everyone doing? Hope you are all having a good start to the week.
 Well it's Tuesday again and we have started our new challenge over at Fun With ATC's, we had a great response last fortnight and hopefully you guys will stop on by for the new challenge.The theme is Vintage so there is plenty of scope to get creative. If you need some inspiration stop on by and check out what the awesome DT have created.
 This time round I have gone for a fairly simple ATC using the fantastic stamps from Paper Artsy and a script stamp from The Artistic Stamper. I have built up the depth by using the different coloured inks.
 The ATC was cut from mount board and coloured with Tim Holtz Distress inks in old paper, linen and pumice stone all blended together it was then given a flick with some water and dabbed dry to leave the water marks.
the script stamp was stamped in pumice stone, the buildings were stamped next with gathers twigs and then masked so I could stamp the chap over the top, he was stamped with sepia archival. The Industrial Man was stamped in coffee archival.
 I went round the edges with vintage photo and then some walnut stain to give it that aged look.To finish off I gave it two coats of clear embossing powder and added the Tim Holtz cogs.
 Well that's it for this post, nice a short for a change. Hopefully Ill see you all over at Fun With ATC's, and as always a great big thank you for stopping by, I really do appreciate you stopping by. xx

I would like to enter this in to a few challenges.
