Mailart ATC's






Here are three ATC's done as part of a swap over on UK Stampers Forum.  The theme this time was 'It's In The Mail'







I used spray mica inks for all the backgrounds in different colourways.  Some were homemade using distress re-inkers and mica powders whilst others were Glimmer Mists. All were applied in layers, dried between coats until I was happy. with the effect.






Most of the rubber stamps used were from Invoke Arts and I also used a variety of inks including Stazon, Brilliance, Versamark, Archival & Versamagic.  Each ATC was embellished with a brad or metal frame, stickers and punched paper.  They were all edged in Chalk inks to finish.
