The main image in this ATC had been stamped as a test image (Cherry Pie) on a piece of scrap paper which had been left on the craftdesk and had acquired a number of images and colour from other arty activities......... a bit of 'serendipity'. I was about to throw it in the bin and thought I would use it instead.
I just cut it out and applied it to a background card, cut to size, from glossy card. The card was coloured with a variety of Distress inks applied with cut'n'dry foam in greens, pinks and ambers.
I also used a fleur-de-lys stamp (Cherry Pie) and Memento ink and another stamp of text (Stamp in the Hand) which was inked with pearlescent orchid and copper Brilliance inks. Final touches were added with a white pigment pen and a fine black permanent pen. Two small self adhesive buttons were added at the top.
