Just one look


Just thought I'd show you a set of 16 ATC's.
I recently was involved in a ATC Chain and this is what I came up with... It's just a bit of fun..
I had to make 6 and post to the names on the list..
but thought I'd send some back to the people I get one from as well..

I made this BG by wetting the Paper and then brushing ink over it, then sprinkling with salt, then sanding lightly IRL they have a 'glittery' appearance from the salt.
I was amazed at the variation of the colouring..
The stamps I've used are all Cats Life Press, and the words are computer generated.

Today's tip - Ok, so I really like strip journaling, and I quite like it cut up like this.. so when cutting it up, I treat it as strip journaling, I put a strip through the Xyron, then cut it up into smaller pieces, after it's sticky. It's saves a lot of mucking around trying to put so many little words through the Xyron.

    Nice!

    I do something similar, but instead of putting the strip through the xyron, I put a piece of dst on it then cut it and then pull of the backing as I need the words.
