Happy Heart ATC

Hi there,

we are starting a new Mixed Media Challenge on the Happy Little Stampers Blog and this time we would like to see some Tissue Paper on your project:

• I created some new ATC backgrounds and I explain the process in this previous post
• afterwards I took some leftover tissue paper from this project and glued it to the ATC using matte medium - I wanted the texture to be extra wrinkled for this reason I crumpled it up first
• stamp the newsprint from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• use black and white acrylic paint to add some circular marks and some splatters
• add some color to the edges using a Distress Crayon (Black Soot)
• stamp the image from the Paper Artsy EKD03 set with Memento (Tuxedo Black) and color it with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• add some highlights and dots with a white gel pen
• adhere the shape to the ATC and add the sentiment from the Tim Holtz Big Chat sticker set

Thanks for stopping by.
