Today we are starting our new challenge over at Fun With ATC's the theme for the next two weeks is writing, nice and simple, we just want to see an element of something written, it can be a text stamp or even your own hand writing.
My ATC as always was cut from mount board, I used a cover the card stamp and heat embossed the image in black powder and used Dusty Concord distress ink to add the colour.
The script stamp is from The Artistic Stamper and was stamped onto some craft card, torn out and coloured with Distress inks to give it a shabby vintage feel.
The pen nib is from Tim Holtz and I used a feather charm from the Bead Shop in Brighton. I glued it in place with some pinflare glue and glued it in place with some pinflare as well.
Head on over to Fun With ATC's to see what the awesome DT have created for some inspiration and as always we would love to see what you can come up with.
Thanks for sticking with me over the last couple of days, I shall leave you in peace now. x

ReplyDeleteBeautiful background stamping Mark. Like Trace and Neil, I love the pen - the curl of the feather and the way you've placed it gives a great composition.

ReplyDeleteThat feather...my god that's gorgeous! I've had a lovely time checking out the last bunch of posts - and I am so sad that I didn't think of naming my cats "spesh" in the first place! That is the funniest idea ever - and we have at least 2 of 3 cats that qualify, lol!
