Challenge
ATC( a little bit of Tim)
any theme withTim's influence
Hidden Faces
I love making ATC, they are so lovely to produce and I
need to do more!
Great challenge to keep it simple with Tims influence, so that's
what I did, no embellishments other than on the ATC bag
As I love texture and layers and the amazing ethereal
beauty that stamping onto tissue paper can achieve and it keeps it very simple
too but with lots of subtle texture and colour
I started by covering the ATCs with DecoArt modelling paste
Colouring with Distress stains Pumice stone, honey gold
and rusty hinge
Then stamped onto tissues paper, using TH stamps Classics
5 & Mini Ornaments
which are
incredible beautiful and natural looking
Apply with DecoArt Media Matt Medium, apply to both sides and apply pressure to ensure clarity
I applied Crackle glaze and enhanced with Carbon Black acrylic paint
I applied Crackle glaze and enhanced with Carbon Black acrylic paint
Once dry I applied a coat of DecoArt Media Ultra Matt varnish
I applied the modelling paste and the colours in the same way to the ATC Bag which I cut using Tim Holtz in the Bag Die
Applied black acrylic paint around the edges, wiping back with a baby wipe
Finished with one of Tim's Ornate Plates to accentuate the eye
