...The ATC theme on UK Stampers this month is to include flourishes and swirls. I used mountboard for my ATCs...I just like that it is sturdy and I can dollop loads of ink onto it and it doesn't buckle like cardstock does...only problem is that I always seem to get carried away with the embellies and can never fit them into the little sleeves they should live in LOL
I used Distress Inks to colour the bases and then used a variety of swirl stamps for backgrounds. The centrepieces are Maya Road chipboard frames and then I got busy with my favest products...Grungepaper and Studio 490 stamps...I know, I know, I need to stop being so predictable but I cannot be helped..they are just the best stamps and I looooove them!
I used Milled Lavendar Distress Ink on the first ATC...does anyone else think that it looks grey or is that just my pad? It is old and getting a bit dry and I wondered if this was the reason or if...it just really is a grey colour? I quite like it tho..tis great blended with Dusty Concord.
Have a great day peeps...and...I hope that whoever receives these ATCs will like them :O))
