Those of you who know me know that I love to make ATC's. I don't make them a lot anymore, but when
A Vintage Journey challenged us to make an
ATC Tim style, I was thrilled. For those who don't know, an ATC (artist trading card) is a piece of art that is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches in size. It can not be sold, only traded or given away.
Enough background... My theme is based on the
inspiration photo challenge (left) at
City Crafter. The technique I used for my ATC is based on Tim's August tag of the month. Tissue tape is used to create an area for the stamp image. My image is from an old Tim Holtz stamp cube that I have had since the beginning of time. The background is embossing paste and stencils with distress stains for color. The sentiment is from Tim's alphaparts framed which I grunged up with distress paints.
I am also entering my ATC in these other challenges:
Tuesday Throwdown --
furry friends (love that adorable puppy);
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge --
anything goes; and
Artistic Stamper --
anything goes.
