...soooo decided to do this ATC Tuesdays on my blog...basically just showing how I make each one for the tray they will all fit in. I also would love to see if any of you make any ATCs...you can leave me a link in your comments on the posts if you like! :D Here is my first ATC:

I saw this background I created somewhere, and for the life of me do not remember where! Basically it is rolled pieces of book pages, that has some distress inks on it. Here is how I made this one:
First, tore out some book pages and tore into smaller sizes to fit the ATC
size and swiped on some distress stains straight from the bottles:

Book pages I have torn out

after adding vintage photo distress stain to edge
And here is how I add the distress stain Vintage Photo to the edges:

I squeeze some out onto the nonstick craft sheet and then touch the edge into the droplet...it soaks it up like a paper towel! :D

I have added some distress stains to the base I will be using, just on the edges because that is all you will see on this ATC. Also have rolled one piece of torn paper.

Here I have now rolled and attached the rolled piece using modge podge.

Here is the completed background with the rolled papers.

Here are some grungeboard hearts and letters that I have used distress stains on.

Stamped this sentiment onto some kraft cardstock and then tore out, also used distress inks on this piece.

Painted the grungeboard embellies with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam glimmer paints.

Painted on some distress ink crackle paint and then helped speed up the drying process by using my heat gun on it.

Tada!! I attached all of the elements with glue dots and scor-tape...also added the tulle behind the hearts...I really like how this turned out!
Here is a little trick to for when you are photographing ATCs or things that can't stand up on their own...I take a small piece of cardstock and make an easel using some removable tape on the edge and stick it to the back of the card and prop it up that way! :D

I love ACT's too just have never found an outlet. Now that I see your frame, I'm thinking maybe a whole wall of art. I just might be back before Tuesday with a link. :)
Your ATC card is so pretty! I have tried a few but they are tough for me to do after being use to working on 12x12 LOs and 6x6 cards! :)
