For my DT post today, I have made a pocket letter. I see lots of people making these and thought to have a look what all the fuss is about !! lol
Anyway, here it is, complete with a tutorial of how I made it ! Enjoy....
This is the finished product ...
It is based on this mood board with the following words:
femininity, women, exploration, rainbow, neutral and nature, storm, maps, vintage, writing, script, yellows, tans, black and white, stripes, bold, rainbows, storms and more!
I hope I did it justice...
Here is the process:
I started with a piece of white card stock measuring 10,5 x 7,5 inches. This is 9 ATC's.
I used distress ink (scattered straw) and a blending tool to colour the paper..
I also used Walnut Stain to age the edges...
Like so...
Next I used a stencil with Walnut stain Distress Ink and a blending tool and also with water in a spray bottle so you get darker than the page and lighter than the page...
Next I stamped the background using Archival Inks. I did use more than one stamp for this. A list of all the stamps I used is at the bottom of this post with links to the shop...
This is how it looks after stamping....
Here's a close up...
Next, I cut the now finished background into 9 ATC's..
and started looking for stamps to use, remembering the words from the mood board.
Work in process, I just stamped the images, some on white card stock some straight on the background. I coloured the ones I stamped on white card stock, cut them out and adhered them to the cards.
And here is the finished project again...
I quite like how it came out.. I slipped all the cards into an ATC page and put some washi tape at the edge where the holes are. I did re-punch the holes...
I also took pictures of the separate ATC's:
I hope you like my project and got some inspiration to play along with us... and NO you don't have to use that many stamps or make 9 ATC's.... Just take some of the words and colours and make something !
I used the following stamps:
