Tis the Season

No surprise that the ATC swap this month is based on Christmas!

I created my ATCs using a few different colours and stamps, including this freebie from Craft Stamper magazine, made up of hanging stars.



The ATCs were cut from good weight stamping card and backgrounds were created with the turquoise ink and a selection of other colours.  For this example the turquoise was mixed with purple.  Ink was applied with foam, followed by random over-stamping with the dotty 'Fields of Sky' stamp and a snowflake in both colours.


 

The hanging stars were stamped twice across the top of the ATC in clear embossing ink and embossing powder sprinkled over.  The excess was tapped off and heated.





The card was edge in turquoise ink.  An embellishment was made by stamping the 'tis the season' stamp and heat embossing in the same colour embsossing  powder as the stars.  After cutting out the circle it was also edged in turquoise ink. 



A few more in different colours; silver, bronze, blue and  pink, ready for the swap.
