Created Byhand Challenge - Red the New Black


Last weeks Created Byhand Challenge is Red the New Black... now the new challenge has been posted a day early but that's ok, I'm still sharing my atc.  I started with white cardstock, sponged it with Distress Ink barn door using the blending tool and foam.  Embossed it using the Tim Holtz regal flourishes folder.  Used my finger to rub metallic rubons over the embossing.  "Flourish & Grow", a Quietfire Design stamp, is stamped onto vellum using Archival Ink jet black, tore the vellum at the top and bottom, dabbed the torn edges with gold paint, and folded it around the atc taping the edges to the back.  Distress Ink fired brick sponged on the edges of the ATC.  Tim Holtz dies - flourish and flowers - are cut from grungepaper.  The flourish is colored with Distress Ink fired brick and then Distress Stickles fired brick are added on top.  The flowers are colored with gold paint and music image (Quietfire Design) is stamped on with Archival Ink crimson.  Dew drops added to the centers of the flowers and 3 red flower brads added on the right.
