Trying my hand at ATC's

Hello and Welcome! I ventured into another room 

for this month's Anything Goes Challenge over at 

Creative Artisite Mixed Media Blog

and tried my hand at ATC's.

Now I am sure most are aware of what these 

'little pieces of art are -  measuring 2.5" x 3.5"
Here are my fun makes! All very different.

Now a few close ups and how they were made!

I love using corrugated cardboard as you get a great effect

when tearing it apart. After I gesso-ed the back I added some

DecoArt Crackle Paint but hasn't shown up well.

I then got out Tim's Gathered Twigs Distress Ink

Alchemy Metallics in Emerald Green

and Rustic Brown for the background 

and the Spellbinder Circles. Added some

plasters tape before attaching the circles

and popping the main one which has

an epoxe sticker attached that I have had 

in my stash forever. 

 I took inspiration from an ATC I saw 

from the talented Asia Marquet.

I started with my background of Orange Brusho's

Lindy's Gold Glory of the Seas Spray and

Art Alchemy Fresh Orange Metallic Paint.

These colours were also used for my cheesecloth

and fussy cut butterfly.

Some random inking from Finnabair in black ink

adding some Nuvo Repened Pumpkin Drops.

Sentiment is from AALL & Create - #39.

I got some blue tissue paper with some items I had bought online

and thought it perfect as a start to my background.

Scrunched it up and adhered to my canvas with Crackle Medium.

Once that was dry I swiped Tim's Oxide inks in blues.

(doing the same with the attached pocket)

My denim pocket is from CUTplorations and

I cut out a bigger piece as backing.

The die behind it is from Kaisercraft.

Fussy cut the two stamped paint brushes 

from AALL & Create - #39

adding some gold splatters. Gold gelatos were

also added to the raised parts. 

Sentiment is from SU.

Hope you liked my first ATC's.
