Atc's

Made a handful of Atcs this morning, I think I was half inspired byBecky and half by Chris. Becky for the atc's and Chris for the tag she did at a make and take on Saturday.

The background for these ones are earthy colours of pan pastel. I sealed them with DecoArt matte spray before I stamped on them. I dug down deep and found my box of wooden stamps that I've not used for a while, it was great to get them out again.

The two purply / blue backgrounds are again pan pastels and the one on the right is gelatos. The images are all stamped in versamark and heat embossed with WOW embossing powders.

And finally, these backgrounds are all gelatos and all the images have again been stamped in versamark and heat embossed with WOW powders.

Mini Book TM Style

I decided to make a little mini Teesha Moore style book as a thank you gift for a friend, using her 16 page technique. It's only 5.5" x 4". Prepped the pages with Dylusion paints and added some random stenciling. 

I like to work on the loose pages before I put the book together.

Images added to make the front and back covers and the inside flap.

And some of the doodling on the inside. I also used coloured pencils, something I've not done before.

This is the other side of the one above, again more doodling, colouring and some words.

These are the centre pages. I used a gelli pen for the dots on the left page. This means that the dots are all raised.

And the other side. The middle pages don't have any additional flaps.

All of them together.

And the other sides.

Finally I put holes in the pages and bound them to make the book.

As this is a gift, I decided to decorate the envelope too.

Admire

I've not used with any MDF for a while so I thought I'd get some out and have a play. Loads of colours of fresco used until I got it to something I liked. Stamped the LP image on a separate piece of paper coloured with distress ink, stamped in brown ink and hi-lighted in a purple gelli roll glaze pen.

Used a Stencil Girls mini stencil with grunge paste and coloured with a gelato.  Added splodges and script in royal purple stazon and used the leaf shaped sketchy stamp from EEV02 stamped in mustard and pumpkin stazon.

Made a border with one of my new 'flower' stamps from Paris.

Bonfire Night

Over at PanPastelUk this week they have a theme of Bonfire Night.  I cut T!m's on the edge townscape die from patterned paper.  Stamped the three Art Journey stamps in white ink and went over them with a gelli glaze pen in white and orange.  I used embossing enamel around the outside edges.
