Fun With ATC's - Black, White and Red

 Morning all. Another Tuesday has rolled around and that means we are starting a new challenge over at Fun With ATC's.The challenge this fortnight is Red, White and Black.
 We also have some exciting news as we have 2 new DT members joining the family, I am sure some of you will recognize them, head on over to Fun With ATC's to see who the new members are and to see what they have created for inspiration.

I have gone all shabby and rustic for my ATC today, the two pics are of the same ATC, the first pic is before the clear embossing went on just to show the difference and how much the embossing brings out the colours.

The ATC was cut from mount board and run through a Tim Holtz embossing folder,It was given some coats of Decoart Americana and Traditions paints and sanded back. A little Original Rust was added to give it that old enamel sign look.

It would be great to see you over at Fun WIth ATC's. There are two weeks for you to get your thinking caps on xx.



I would like to enter this ATC into the challenge over at Smudgy Antics  they are having an ATC challenge.

    Well you have utterly inspired me here Mark. I adore the way the colours come alive and as you say, it looks for all the world like an enamel sign. Hugs, Jenny x
