In a recent post HERE the talented Sarn has shown a selection of ATCs along with details of how she achieved the background effects and completed cards. Seeing this reminded me that it's a really long time ago that I made any ATCs so thought I'd remedy this by getting out stencils and inks for a play session. This is one of the cards I made using her method for the background and adding some stamping and a fussy cut bird. It's quite a challenge switching to this small size after working on larger cards but an interesting and enjoyable exercise nonetheless . It's also of course a great way of maybe using up some of my huge amount of white and cream offcuts although any other colours can be used as the mood takes you. In case there's anyone who doesn't know, the size of an ATC is 2.5 x 3.5 inches. As Sarn mentioned, if you don't have use for an ATC, this size is handy for a card topper.
Stamps - stamp of the month (May) set from Crafty Roo
Inks - Distress colours Rusty Hinge and Chipped Sapphire. Versafine Clair (black)
Lovely ATC, Val. So much detail in such a tiny space.
