ATC Challenge

An ATC is a small card measuring 3.5 X 2.5. This is the first ATC card I've made and I started with glossy photo paper using alcohol inks to create the papers. That's so much fun to watch it mingle and spread.
Can you think of the next line after "I miss you most of all my darling..."?


I'm entering it in the Moving Along With The Times challenge. Their sponsor this week is: Every Scraps A Pound and the prize is a bundle of paper called: " Peppermint Christmas Party" along with the embellishments. I would love to win that prize.
I've discovered so many wonderful blogs that offer different challenges. It's fun to play along and challenge myself to continue learning as I'm enjoying my craft.

Mix It Up Monday Challenge Stamp TV STVMONVD3.

 Art/Mixed Media is the theme for this challenge. I'm in a '60's state of mind. Peace, Love and Harmony is the theme for this creation.

I started with glossy photo paper and Adirondack alcohol inks (butterscotch-gold and watermelon) plus the  blending solution. There are many u tube videos demonstrating how to do this so I won't go into details. It is really fun though to see the colors puddle and blend.

I stamped over the paper with a flourish, the meditating yogi and the feeling groovy stamp. I punched 2 black flowers and added  tiny little gold beads on the one, glued them together and added the black rhinestone to the center of the die cut. The die cut is from Sizzix "Elegant Enhancement #2". I used an embossed black paper to make the cut, then rubbed antique gold "rub and buff" over it and laced black paper strips through it. I like it  slightly off center and set at an angle. The guitar and star and key where added to enhance the theme. This is a fun challenge working with different elements instead of a card pattern or sketch. I will use it to cover a journal and fill it with groovy ideas and inspiration.
