ATC Give Away

It has been a while since I went done the road of ATC's so I thought I would make a set of 3 scenic ones using Stampscapes then give them away.

To claim the ATC's all you have to do is leave a comment on this posting and I will use a random generator to pick 3 people from the comments on Friday18 July 2008.

Good Luck.

Fantasy Film & H2o background

I started with a square blank card and a ruffles butterfly stamp and painted the butterfly with 2 shades of H2o's I stamped the first print onto a waste piece of paper then sprayed the stamp with a water spray (just a fine mist covering) then stamped onto my card blank I repeated the process of spraying and stamping several times until I was happy with the patterned background.

With versafine black onyx I stamped the butterfly onto some white card stock then coloured this with the same colours of H2o's that I used on the background, I then inked the butterly with the black again and layered 3 sheets of mother of pearl fantasy film over the inked rubber stamp then a teflon sheet and ironed the stamp until the film had fused together, once fused I cut out the butterfly and adhered it to the coloured one only at the body so the the wings were loose.

I layered the stamped image up onto contrasting card stock and stuck this onto the base card. I finished the card by tying a ribbon around the folded edge.

Christmas card - Penny Black Fantasy

Started with a square 5"x5" white base card then scored lines down the front with a Scor-pal board, Inked the penny black stamp with the gold galaxy by brilliance then matted this onto gold mirror card then onto the base card,

Tied a gold ribbon around the bottom quarter of the card and added the irredescent pointsetia, finished the card by adding stickles glue to the stamped image.

Ingrediants: Rubber stamp - Penny Black Fantasy, Ink - Brilliance Galaxy Gold. Stickles Glitter Glue - Diamond, White card stock, gold mirror card, ribbon and peel off pointsettia

The post below this one

The card below is a one that my Husband made and added to my blog with out my permission.

I am trying very hard to be calm and collected about it. I will however say it is pretty good for a first attempt.

If he hadn't publicly anounced that he had added a card to my blog I have to admit that I would have deleted the posting from him, so, for now it can stay, as long as it never happens again.

To the rescue

I couldn't get it on the forum so i've put it on here instead comments welcome. I could be a dead husband tomorrow.

Martha & Arthur

Simple cards stamped using Palette Noir ink then water coloured and then layered up with patterned paper the Arthur card was embossed with the cuttlebug Dots and Spots folder at the bottom, Both cards finished with ribbons.

Thomas Kinkade - Cobblestone Bridge

Two new Rubberstamps today and this one is Thomas Kinkade Cobblestone Bridge by CHF I used the brayer on the stamp with Palette Berry Sorbet ink pad I find I get a much crisper image by using the brayer I used a cream base card and layered up with papermanis silk screen pattened paper it has a beautiful sheen to one side and a matching pinstripe on the other, I layered a contrasting green cardstock to fram the image ontop of this then tied a polka dot satin ribbon around this before attaching to the base card then added the image with foam pads to give it some depth.

Ingrediants: Ribbon-PTI, Stamp-CHF, Cardstock-PTI silk paper-Papermania

New Baby Card - Birds of a Feather

My Neice gave birth to a beautiful baby boy (Layton John) on Tuesday 8th July

So after my TV appearence on Create & Craft I new I would be straight back to reality and making a card the minute I got home.

What was good for me was I won the Birds of a feather stamp set from Papertrey Ink and it was sitting on my doormat waiting for me as I opened the door what perfect timing.

On cream card stock I stamped the little bird, eggs and nest and the New Beginnings sentiment. I cut out a blue scalloped square with the nestibilities and used the matching plain square to cut out the stamped image.

I stamped the words Just hatched several times down the right hand side of the base card, layered Bless this Baby onto matching blue card then tied it all together with a contrasting ribbon and added 3 blue pearls in the left corner.
