...I been playing with Distress Stains and Trad Tan paint... again... I know, I should have been doing other stuff but I can't help it, I am trying out all the different colours and am loving the peachy colour of Trad Tan and Wild Honey mixed together. Anyways... a little ATC had to be made, it would have been rude not to use my new ATC Alterations die... I mean, I have owned if for a few weeks now and haven't used it yet!
So... Victor was hungry, so I fed some mountboard with the ATC die through him and he was happy again... then I fed some Crowded Attic paper thru... I tell you, I used to faff with a Stanley Knife and a cutting mat to make my ATC bases and it took forever... hurrah, this took seconds! The paint was mixed with a spatula, a splodge of Trad Tan and a splodge of Wild Honey Stains... then applied with a spatula so it is a rough application. Once the paint had dried, I splodged (hey, I am loving this word today lol) Vintage Photo and Wild Honey Stains onto the craftsheet and spritzed with Sunflower Perfect Pearls Mists then dipped the ATC into it. Where the paint has missed, the colours soak into the paper so they go darker.. cool! The little flower is made from Kraft Glassine... another of my new faves! In the middle is a little Accoutrement button... and that was spritzed with more of the Perfect Pearls...
Oooh, and before I forget... I have popped a demo tag onto the Artistic Stamper Creative Team blog... a real quicky affair when I was playing with Distress Stains at Ally Pally earlier this month... all the deets are HERE.
Anyways... I won't mention that in 2 days, 3 hours and 40mins I will be on my way to America and in three days I will be at Ranger... I thought that I would give it a miss today.. I mean, I don't want to start getting boring or anything rofl... And yes, I still have to pack... the way I am looking at it is this... I am notoriously baaaad for anything packing oriented and... I always forget something, so if I get everything together and put it on the bed, then I can just bung it all into the case... I have a heap of chocolate to take with me too... and no, it isn't for me either!!! (well, a little bit might be, but that is only so I don't feel left out lol) Right... time for me to get going and sorting, ironing, packing... inking ... Thanks for looking... TTFN

Loving the atc, I have to admit I have only ever made one atc as all the faffing around with measurements where a nightmare, me thinks I might have a look out for the alterations die. Hope you have a fab time, which I'm sure you will. One of the new blogs I found which I love, she is going to ranger also, I thought I would leave you the name of her blog.... http://www.christytomlinson.typepad.com/.
Safe journey

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee wants to come to Ranger U with you and be a DHRHRU too ... pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee can I come lol, ok I am never ever going to get bored of this Trad Tan thing as you always make it look sooooooo different, each and every time, love this colour combo. Man I can't remember the last time I tried to do an ATC ... goes to add this to the ever growing wish list. Ok ... so are you packed yet??? I am guessing not, I'm sweating here for you just thinking about it .... speak soon ... I hope:) xx
Lovely colours Hels and I am so jealous of Victor... I am sure I need one of those!! ;)
3 days eh? Just 3? get packing woman!! I suppose chocolate weighs more than Cheesos... so if you take lots of chocolate over you should have loads of weight allowance for a hundred bags of Cheessos!!
Love how dark the butterflies are against your gorgeous coloring, Hels. And you're a gal after my own heart to not be packing yet. Love the trip, hate the pack.
This looks splendid! Love that glassine flower. I am getting excited for your trip too, I know you will have a blast!
girl...you just keep bringin it with the beautiful colors and images, etc. Where DO YOU get all your energy?! <3 Candy
