ATC World - Roaring Twenties Flappers

I wanted to use a photograph of my mother all decked out in her 1924 outfit - always up to date with fashion as she made her own clothes (a milliner by trade) - but I could not get the photo to print properly.  At first I thought I had run out of inks but, after changing them, the photos came out all streaked............ I gave up...............

The next day Heather Valentin brought out some 'Gatsby' designs ..... wonderful!  I immediately bought the three designs, printed them out ATC size and then sat at my desk just looking and thinking.  Eventually I pulled out my colours and started off.  The base ATC was cut from some old School books belonging to C but she didn't want them so  .............. ATCs were cut!


I prepared all the bases by stamping borders on each side  and adding some tape or peel-offs to match.  I then clear embossed the card and hand wrote a quote across the card.  
I used metallic pencils, gel pens and fibre tips to colour the designs so that a tiny bit of texture was created. 

After I had fussy cut the design and attached it to the card I realised that the quote could not be seen but heigh! ho!
I clear embossed the whole card and then clear embossed the designs again.  
I read somewhere that this also seals the papers ............   


Thinking of 'The Great Gatsby' that is in the Cinemas at the moment I added some bling to match the dresses.  

Finito!!
