this week at Wednesday Stampers
the challenge was Auto's
So I made this little ATC... I've been playing a bit with sewing and then painting over the stitching, I quite like this look and thought it sort of looked like a road map, quite suited really for this theme.
Spledid bit's I've used for this ATC are - Bazzill Cardstock, Catslife Press -a little stop on my art journey stamp, Stampin Up it's a date stamp & Aged to perfection stamp, 7 Gypsies paper tab, Collections word, Dymo Tape, Raw Umber Acrylic Paint, Versa black ink pad & black EP,and my sewing machine...
what a really interesting effect it has painting over the stitching!Wonderful work as always Gillian.
ReplyDeletelove your atc! great idea with the sewing!
ReplyDeleteFab ATC. I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI wish my machine would play, it keeps snapping the needles. I think perhaps they are old & need to get myself new ones.
Great effect with the stitching. Love your ATC.

ReplyDeleteI really love that technique that you've done with the stitching Gillian, it looks so effective,
