Wonderland

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blogpost where today I am sharing a set of three ATC's. I thought another Alice project was long overdue so that is what I did !

These ATC's were made in the same way. I started with stamping the background and heat embossing it with WOW embossing powder. I then coloured the backgrounds with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in rainbow colours.  I inked the edges then stamped the images and sentiment. I used pages out of an old book. It has oriental letters but I have no idea what language it is or what it is about. I bought it especially to use in my projects. Next I cut out all the images and adhered them onto the ATC's after I added some washi tape on each of them. 

When this was all done I thought it needed something more so I stamped the background with a text stamp and that was it ! 

Here are some close ups:

I have used the following stamps for this project:

19015 - dictionary page

19580 - Wonderland

20015 - Alice - drink me

20016 - Mad Hatter

6805 - Cheshire cat sitting

18812 - Tangle

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Steampunk ATCs

Wayne (the owner of VLVS!) and I recently go the pleasure to participate in an ATC swap for steampunk ATCs! Lyneen was our fearless leader via the forum and today I'll show you what we turned in!

First up.. Stamping by STAMPO himself!

Wayne used Copic markers, distress ink and a gorgeous rainbow pad to get all the beautiful colors on his ATC. He also Stampo's Steampunk Sprockets which were glued down
with Crystal Lacquer.
Stamps used include:
When Pigs Fly!
Steampunk Piggy
Gear 1x1

Square Edge Gear

I used a foil sheet adhered with Miracle Tape to white cardstock and alcohol ink to get the effect for my background. My Umbrella Man stamp was stamped in Memento Black ink and embossed with Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. I embellished with a little dabbling in the Stampo's Steampunk Sprockets as well. 

What do you think??
