This ATC came about because I saw Hels Sunday Stamper and she wants you to Pick A Pocket Or Two so decided to put a pocket on one of my ATC’s and add a tag … but not just any ole pocket … an acetate one. It didn’t show up so I stamped onto it with a sentiment still could hardly see it so blobbed ink onto it … not to bad … then the problems started how to attach it … remember it is only 3.5″ x 2.5″. I stitched it on but it looked awful so brain went into overdrive and I decided to add some brown lace around the edges … ah but what idiot didn’t change the white cotton. This was turning into a nightmare but then a lightbulb moment colour in the stitching with Pro markers … mmmm it didn’t look to bad anyway judge for yourselves 😯

It is such a surprise to see these colours when the tag is removed. If you look HERE you can see which ATC I have used this time … only five more to go.

What a clever Mr Tim to make these embossing folders a perfect size for ATC’s this is one from the Playing Games set, also have the Poker Face which is brilliant.

Love the Prima clear stamps these are another useful accessory for ATC’s as you can see below … used the Meadow Lark and Nature Garden very pretty.

To enhance the bird and flowers, coloured both with TH Markers then the Bingo, flowers plus the bird were given a coat of glossy accents. Finally another enhancement was to stitch along the little tape measure and the top of the cup … isn’t it always the way when I had finished and was giving the once over I realised I should have used TH Crackle Accents for the word BINGO … ah well!!!

My ATC’s are nearly coming to an end below is the last of my play around backgrounds, who can believe what you can make with a bit of paint, paste, masks, glimmer mists and embossing folders. These are all ready to embellish and you can just see the Little Car and Man on two of them.

This is the other ATC I wanted to show you … it shows more of the background which I made with the modelling paste and acrylic paint.
When I mixed the paste and paint together I dragged it through a piece of sequin waste which gave it dimension and so touchy feely. The edges have been inked with Chipped Sapphire.

This one is probably my fave so far because the background was a bit left over from a piece of card that I gessoed and then stamped into. The doily was inked then the edges were patted with versamark before being covered with clear embossing powder. Placed it onto the card and spritzed with Key Lime Pie Glimmer Mist. Image is from a CD which I stamped over with the Prima Frame Stamp called Believe, lastly I stitched around the image to make it pop more.
