I made this ATC using a stamp from Zettiology and it fits in rather well with the theme for this weeks TMTA theme which is 'Groups'.
I cut a piece of thin white card to size and stamped with Stazon black, I actually used most of the stamp but didn't ink the legs of the child clowns. I then used a Memories primary rainbow pad and a brayer to colour the whole card. I then used bleach and a fine brush to go over the faces which turned a delightful shade of turquoise ! The same bleach was used on the rim of a small bottle to produce the bleached out circles. The bleach was dried with a heat gun. The stars on the hats were coloured with Viva gold paint and the buttons and bobs glossed with Glossy Accents. Finally some vellum letters were added, the card mounted on chipboard and the edges coloured with purple hydrangea Versamagic chalk ink to finish.

ReplyDeleteI love this one Sid, the pale turquoise kids look suitably odd! (I think clowns are just a bit freaky so this fits!)
