Imagination ATC

Hi there,

this is just a quick reminder of this month's Mixed Media Challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog.

• create a background on a piece of watercolor paper using Daniel Smith and Schmincke Horadam watercolors
• cut out an ATC from the part you like best using a die from the CUTplorations ATC/Tag Builder set 
• glue down a piece of vintage book paper at the bottom of the page
• add color to the edges with a black Stabilo All Pencil and a wet watercolor brush
• apply Crackle Paste through the ARTplorations Honeycomb Delight Mini stencil  and let it dry thoroughly
• add some texture to the background by stamping the dot pattern and the numbers from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge set and the tiny text from the STAMPlorations Scribbly Splattery Grunge set with Archival Ink (Black Soot)
• color over the crackled ares with watered-down Distress Paint (Hickory Smoke)
• glue down some corrugated cardboard, cheesecloth, cotton ribbon (altered with the smaller chevron stamp from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge set, Archival Ink Black Soot and Distress Paint Peacock Feathers) and a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Big Chat Sticker set

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,
