'Numbers' ATC


Here is an ATC I have made using a background of home made mica sprays in blues and greens. I applied multiple layers of spray onto dark green paper and dried between coats. I used a variety of micas from Cosmic Shimmer and added drops of Distress re-inker from Ranger to intensify the depth of colour. Once I was happy with the effect I backed the paper with orange card and trimmed off the excess.

I then took a large chipboard N and sprayed with green and gold mica sprays drying with a heat gun. The edges of the letter were coloured with orange Copic marker before triple heat embossing with clear embossing powder.


The background was overstamped with a number stamp from PaperArtsy in olive green Stazon and an acrylic swirl flourish stamp from Li'l Davis Designs in pearlescent rust Brilliance ink. The strips were stamped in olive green Stazon using another PaperArtsy stamp onto some textured paper which had also been sprayed with orangey mica spray. The strips were applied with gluestick and the chipboard N with Glossy Accents. The other letters were coloured with the orange Copic Marker and applied as shown. Finally the whole ATC was edged with Versamagic pumpkin spice chalk ink.

Hope you like it. Sid :-)
