Secret Garden ATC


This ATC uses stamps from PaperArtsy. I started with a white card blank and used Moonglow starburst stain in tiger lily red orange, applied liberally in two or three uneven coats. Once dry a flourish stamp was inked once with pearlescent poppy Brilliance ink (very difficult to see but has a golden hue when viewed at an angle) and once with moonlight white.  These were dried with a heat gun and acted as a resist for one more coat of the Moonglow spray.

I then inked a seedhead stamp with vintage sepia Versafine and stamped as shown.  The 'secret garden' stamp was inked in Memento bahama blue and stamped as shown. Two splashes of Moonglow delphinium turquoise were added left and right and the seedhead was highlighted with crystal Stickles glitter glue.  The edges were coloured with chestnut brown Colorbox chalk ink to finish.

    Did you get a chance to look at the coffee break videos on my blog. You might find them useful for ideas. I was fascinated by them.
