ATC share using prima bloom sprays

Hello hello today's post is a very simple ATC. I made this last week but was unable to deliver it to its recipient as Scarlett was a bit unwell. Tomorrow I shall get my chance. I was asked to make an ATC that was black and white with one other colour.

I was playing around with my prima bloom sprays. Spraying little drops and swiping my paper into it.  Even though I just got a little swipe in the corner of this ATC I thought the colours were really deep, and pigmented. Okay, and technically there are two colours. plumeria, and empress gold. Its so little though I think it still fits the brief.

Then I just needed the black and white. Well the background is white so I decided to just put a simple sentiment on it embossed in black. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz stamp set.  Then I went around the edge with the same black embossing powder and heated it.

I was almost gonna leave it there but I felt it was just too boring. I still wanted to keep enough white space showing though.   After a rummage around I decided to put some lavinia stars around the edges and a Dina Wakely circle stamp in adjacent corners. Then I used my crop o dile tool to put a white eyelet with a black and white Amy Tangerine plus one ribbon.

That's it. Pretty simple. Simple is okay though. White space is okay too. I really like that about Dina's style. She is not afraid to leave a space open. The white space can help draw the eye to the main subject of your work.

Just a short post today as I'm super busy sorting out my back garden. Ill be back shortly with a simple guide to hopefully take some of the stress and anxiety of tackling your garden clean up.

Stampotique "halloween" ATC swap

Hi everyone. Hope everybody is enjoyed their weekends. We had a virus come through our house last week. Everyone was ill. one after the other. It was not fun at all. Hence why I have been quiet on the blog front for a bit.Thank gosh Im feeling better and I wanted to share with you my ATC for the Stampotique originals facebook page "halloween" themed ATC swap. Its hosted by Nikki Woodward. Check out her blog here. x I had so much fun making these! Thanks Nikki .x

Above is the front and back of the first ATC. I used shabby shutters and peeled paint distress inks. I tapped them straight onto craft matt, spritzed with water, and ran ATC through. I manipulated it around to make sure I got runs and splats. Then I heat dried it. I stamped the specks and specimen with Tim Holtz halloween stamps. The bottles are JOFY, and "freaky little thing " sentiment is wendi vecchi. The head in the jar is mothfab from stampotique, The ghost is Janet Klein for stampotique, and the skulls area halloween cube by Daniel Torrente for stampotique.


I have more ATC s to show you guys but this is all for now, I hope you enjoy...
