Destination Happiness ATC

Hi there,

it is time for a new Mixed Media Challenge over on the Happy Little Stampers Blog and this time it is all about Collage:

• I created some new ATC backgrounds and I explain the process in this previous post
• afterwards I took some torn tissue paper strips and glued it to the ATC using matte medium for some interest in the background
• apply some Minc Reactive Screen Ink through the ARTplorations Daisy Play stencil and let it dry thoroughly
• I ran the ATC through my Mini Minc covered with Deco Foil (Pink Melon) just to realize that the foil seems to stick to the Prima Marketing Soft Matte Gel as well - this is why I had to scrape off some of the foiling to reveal the flowers
• stamp the bubblewrap from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder and stamp it again with Archival Ink (Black Soot)
• 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 highlights with a white gel pen
• adhere the shape to the ATC and add the sentiment from the Tim Holtz Big Chat sticker set - color the edges of the sticker with Distress Crayon (Peacock Feathers)

Thanks for stopping by.

Yours,
