For this 'wings' ATC for this week's Something completely different I've used one of the Tim Holtz eclectic palette stamps that I had for Christmas. I stamped on to a piece of BG blue paper using Adirondack stained glass ink, which I part embossed with stardust EP and part with hologram. I then lightly sponged with distress tattered rose and old paper.
I've enjoyed doing this - sometimes when life is difficult, it's helpful to do a little crafting.
As is usually the case with something sparkly like this, it's very difficult to get a photo.
I have a confession to make to the SCD team - last week I made this ATC for 'mad March hare' - having used lots of UTEE on it, it had curled up somewhat, so I put it under heavy books to straighten - unfortunately, the UTEE cracked and the picture underneath couldn't be seen properly - so it ended up in the bin - a complete disaster! The card I used was too thin to start with - should have used chipboard - oh well!

No doubt it's a therapy, I hope that life isn't too difficult for you.
ReplyDeleteThe ATC is gorgeous...lovely use of colours. Can't count the number of cracked UTEE projects I've binned - or worse, made do with!
It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteUTEE does tend to do that, doesn't it? Shame! This one looks fantastic and I can't believe how much other stuff you've made and blogged too! So glad you are managing to find some calm in crafting. Hugs to you and John.
