ATC Tuesdays, #3

Hey ya'll!! Welcome to my 3rd ATC Tuesday! I am really enjoying doing this little cards, sometimes so much I forget to take a pic along the way, lol! Here is what I have done for this time around:



As you see, this one is a pretty simple one. Not alot to this one. I actually had 2 ATCs going at once and the one I wanted to show, got carried away and didnt take any extra pics...Here is a pic of that one:



Actually, this one just has a lot of stuff on it. The background is the main thing a created and I did that with a piece of pure copper and Verday, both from Ten Seconds Studio ...I am so loving their products, especially this new Verday, which adds a patina to metals, and also their metal paints, so much fun to play with! Anyways, on to the ATC for today that I remembered to take pics along the way of, lol!



I cut a piece of watercolor paper 2 1/2 x 3 1/2.



I then swiped across the watercolor paper with distress ink pads, direct to paper.


I then misted HEAVILY with water with a mini mister. I did it heavy because I wanted the ink to roll around on the paper. I picked it up after doing this and just tilted it back and forth to spread the inks out all over.


This is what I ended up with after helping it dry with a heat gun.


Stamped flowers onto the ATC with more distress ink.


Added some word stickers.


Sponged the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink. As you will see in the next pic though, I did not like where one of the words in that position, so moved it, lol! Also, did some more sponging with distress inks with a scallop edge I had cut out, I used it like a mask.



Tada! I have added all the elements on it here. I used a Tim Holtz keyhole, a piece of seam binding ribbon that I had dyed with vintage photo ink and added some white gel pen work to the middle of the flowers and was done!

So, yea, this one was pretty simple, but it looks fantastic in its little home in the tray! :D

I am not for sure about having another ATC Tuesday next week, because I will be getting ready for Gina K Design March Release, on the 8th. It will depend on how quick I get those samples done, lol! But if not next Tuesday, for SURE the one after that!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and hope you enjoyed and got a little inspiration!
