Fall ATC Cards!

I love to create visual dimension as well as actual dimension. Join me as I create ATC cards that are both visually layered as well as actually having physical layers!



After the video I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink around all edges, and then sprayed Tattered Angels Sugar Maple all over it. Then I glued on the small Brass Sunflowers and Acorns charms. Lastly I used the embossing ink dauber and randomly swiped the edges. Then using the same combination of Cranberry and Vintage Photo embossing powders, I embossed random areas and then scraped off some of the Distress Embossing powder for a worn and tattered look.
I hope you like my cards!

Convention Haul and a new take on an old technique!

Whew! What a week...I need to go back to work to rest!





Here's a close up of my dragon on Muslin. After the video I tried the stencil on RocLon fabric...not a clear image! Stick with woven fabric such as muslin or cotton. Heat set the design in the dryer or with an iron and it is permanent.


You can find many of the stamps and inks, and the Stamp Die at Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium.
