You will be making three ATCs. The first ATC needs to have at least three alphabetical letters on it. You can choose any letters you want. They have to be noticeable. The second ATC needs to have at least three numbers on it. You can choose any numbers you want. They have to be noticeable. The third ATC will have three types of punctuation on it. You can choose any three you want. They have to be noticeable. If you want to put more than three items on your ATC that is absolutely acceptable but there has to be at least three noticeable items on each ATC. Get it? Got it? Good!!
I cut the paper to ATC size, added a little bit more ink to the design, some gilding polish to the first one and then attached them to their base cards.
I then edged them with a bit more ink.
The second paper had various acrylic colours on it, I think there maybe a slight hint of a stencil being used!!
I inked up some stamps given to me by my friend Jill and stamped the letters across the paper.
Once again I attached it to the base card and then edged it with DO.
My third card is definitely a DO ink background using stencils. I removed some punctuation marks from a book I have on the shelf. It's called Pastel Monograms from Hot off the Press and I have had it years ..... and years......
Anyway the Exclamation Mark and Speech Marks were fine but I couldn't quite work out how to do the Ampersand. After some thought, and trial and error on another piece of paper, I used the die cut as a mask and pounced some blue Cosmic Shimmer Chalk Cloud over it.
I then outlined this with a white Posca Pen to make it pop a bit more.
Once I had attached this to the base card, I edged it with DO inks.
Just the recreation I needed.
Apparently I didn't read the criteria correctly and my card are not acceptable. If they are returned I shall use them for another swap or maybe alter them slightly (if I have time then I will resubmit them)
Great ATCs I love the one with the numbers on
