MAC #41


It's been a very long time since I participated in a challenge on the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group and I've missed doing them.  This weeks challenge is to make an ATC.  I started with one of Wendy's atc Art Parts... covered one side with Distress Stain picket fence, dried it... using blending tools added the 3 new colors of Distress Ink, dried it... stamped the background from Wendy's set Sentimental Art with Adirondack pigment Snow Cap, dried it... Inked the flower from Wendy's set Art Is Therapeutic with Archival Ink deep purple and emerald green and stamped it 5 times on the atc without reinking between stampings... inked and stamped an additional flower (no stem) onto a scrap of white cardstock, cut it out and glued it over the first flower I stamped onto the atc... using I white pen I highlighted the dot areas of the other flowers (and even added additional dots)... stamped the quote with Archival Ink jet black... wrote over flowers and miracles with the white pen... added squiggles and dots around the edge with the white pen... tied fiber onto a button and added it as shown.

Susan, I really love the muted background and how that one flower pops! Great detail work with the white pen, too.
