I spent this morning tidying and cleaning my workshop… it was…. the biggest hugest mess you ever did see
So once it was all tidy and clean, I decided to mess it all up again and get the paints out 😉
Last night I spent an hour or so researching ATC’s and watching videos of people making them on Youtube
Today I decided to make one and here is my first attempt…
Supplies List :-
- Chipboard cut to 2.5″ x 3.5″
- Gesso to prime the chipboard and I also used it for the stamped image (a tip from Deb)
- Acrylic Paint : Lagoon
- Gel Medium
- Paper Artsy Swirly Stamp
- Basic Grey Flower Stamp
- Donna Salazar Daily Chronicles Newspaper Quote
- Tim Holtz Distress Ink : Vintage Photo
- A Jam Jar of Cold water and a couple of paint brushes
- Pumpkin Stazon (to cover up the botched up swirl where the Gesso went on too thick)

I haven’t tried an ATC yet! Yours is great! I really like the colors you used! I hear they’re very addicting!…Nancy 🙂
Glad you like the ATC Nancy… I have already started another one, it just needs to be finished off, hopefully this weekend, and it involves Daisies 😉
you did amazing!
Thanks Amy 🙂
Love it, love it. These little cards are the funnest thing, don’t you think? Since I have a baseball card collector in the house I have all the holders I need for these things. If you would like to trade some let me know.
I really enjoyed making this wee thing today, so much fun, and endless possibilities 😀
I need to get myself organised and get a folder and holders to keep them in, I have a funny feeling i’ll be making many more of them 🙂
Trading ATC’s sound like a whole lotta fun…. 🙂
