Sea Side ATC

Here is an ATC inspired by a trip to the seaside and the sand dunes.  The main stamp is a grass and birds image (PaperArtsy) and was stamped at the bottom in black Stazon.  I then trimmed the base of the ATC with scissors to give it a scalloped edge.

I then set about it with Moonglow Starburst Stains dabbers in a variety of colours, layering the colours until the depth of colour I wanted was achieved.  The above shot shows the shiny glimmer the mica produces but which is very difficult to photograph.  A swirl stamp was inked with Memento lilac posies dye ink and stamped a few times as shown.

Some purple metallic paint was applied at the base of the ATC through a stencil.  The letters are gold rub-ons and the metal starfish embellishment was attached with glue gel.  The whole ATC was edged with gold Krylon pen to finish.

This one looks a bit reminiscent of Monet with its sploshy colours (not claiming that I am any kind of an artist though :-)).
