Create without Fear ATC Trio

Hi there,

since it is the first Sunday of the month, we are starting a new Mixed Media Challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog. This time I will be showing you an ATC Trio:

• create some Gelli Print backgrounds on deli paper using a brayer, Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paints (Lapis, Night, Turquoise) and the ARTplorations Big Bloom Factory Large stencil
• cover three ATCs cut from sturdy watercolor paper with part of a print using Dina Wakley Gel Medium
• create tissue tape with the help of tissue paper, Memento Luxe (Gray Flannel) and several stamps from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements set and from the STAMPlorations Art Marks set
• add two strips of tissue tape to each card
• apply Texture Paste through the ARTplorations Retro Circles stencil and let it dry thoroughly
• mix some Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paint (Night) with Acrylic Glazing Liquid and paint it over the stenciled area on all three ATCs, let it sit for a moment and wipe it away with a baby wipe - repeat the process until you are happy with the result
• cover all three cards with clear gesso

• use the MISTI and Archival Ink (Black Soot) to stamp the birds and the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2 set
• add splatters with some left-over glazing mixture and draw in some details with a white gel pen
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Black Soot)

• use the MISTI and Archival Ink (Black Soot) to stamp the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments: Create set and some birds from the STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2 set
• add splatters with some left-over glazing mixture and draw in some details with a white gel pen
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Black Soot)

• use the MISTI and Archival Ink (Black Soot) to stamp one of the large birds and the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2 set
• add splatters with some left-over glazing mixture and draw in some details with a white gel pen
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Black Soot)
