Fun With ATC's - Stripes


Welcome back and thank you for stopping by. Over here in my corner of the Uk the weather seems to have turned from full on Summer to the middle of Autumn over night, However I can not leave the warm summer colours alone, I think I need to hold on to the memory of the good weather for as long as poss, It is usually pretty pap her most of the time ;)
The theme over at Fun With ATC's this fortnight is 'Stripes'
My ATC as always was cut from mount board, I stained it with Yellow Distress inks and stamped the DaVinci image using black archival ink. The stamp available from De Stempelwinkel HERE.
I ran the ATC through a Sizzix embossing folder that fit the theme perfectly and used Persimmon Distress inks to high light the raised areas with some cut n dry foam,It was finished off with some black soot around the edge and 2 coats of clear embossing, even with 2 coats you can still feel the ridge details.
The 'Artist' stamp is from Tim Holtz and has been stamped onto 300 gsm paper and has been coloured with the same Distress inks, the lines are also from a Tim stamp. It has been attached to the ATC with a couple of clips from 7 Gypsies.
 You have 2 weeks to get your thinking caps on and off course we would love to see you over ther joining in. Its well worth stopping by just to see what the rest of the DT have created.
Thanks for stopping by, Ill be back latter in the week with some Ally Pally news ;)

  11. Brilliant ATC Mark. Running it through the embossing folder and highlighting the stripes has brought out a really cool effect. Px
