I made a non-digital ATC for you today.
I started with 2.5" x 3.5" white cardstock and stamped the "Skull" with versa mark embossing ink and poured on the black Zing embossing powder. After pouring the excess powder back into its container and spilling a good bit of it over my desk, I heat embossed the image. I then inked the background with a few colors of Distress Inks (brick red, rusty hinge, and the limited edition yellow from the spring collection). Next, the "Chain Link" was stamped twice with black Memento ink. The last stamp was "Raven 1". I did the heat embossing bit again. All stamps were from Smeared Ink's
"Quoth the Raven" set which I own in rubber.
I added some grays to the skull with copic markers and painted some highlights onto the raven with Copic opaque white. The white was a little bright so I added some black distress ink over the white to dim it down. I cut random triangles into the paper and then trimmed the atc to a smaller size and mounted the remainder to a 2.5" x 3.5" piece of shimmery black card.
Smeared Ink is bringing rubber back for those in the Rubber Club.

It comes on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of deeply etched unmounted rubber.
Thank you for all of the kind comments you have been leaving me :)
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteThe way you use the embossing powders is impressive. And your background make the whole thing stand out strongly. But my favorite little touch is the triangles you cut into the edges before you mount it onto your ATC sized paper! Awesome!
