Had even more fun with the second ATC! I started by layering patterned Christmas paper and ephemera over mixed media paper using gel medium. I then went over everything with gesso. I stamped all over the paper with green and brown Stazon inks using a Unity script stamp and another stamp from the tags kit above. I then mixed 2 Art Anthology painted together to get the green color I wanted and used a palette knife to layer them over the paper. I then applied white gesso again using the same technique to ensure the shiny glimmers of green would show through. After drying, I cut the paper into ATCS. I then stamped and embossed, using a green Zinc powder, the forest image from Unity’s Winter Wild 10/17 SMAK KIT. I darkened one side of the trees using charcoal pencil and a black Derwent Inktense pencil. I used a glue pen and added glitter to the other side of the trees. I distressed the edges of the cards with a light stain. I then stamped the deer and white embossed the sentiment from the All Kinds of Holiday Love 9/19 SMAK kit onto Kraft paper and cut them out. I added white string and called this one done.
Must admit, ATCs offer an excellent opportunity to just play! Luckily, the group I exchange with play just as much, have fun doing so and are very supportive. Well, till next time, happy crafting.
