Hattie ........

 

This is an ATC made for a monthly ATC swap over on Crafty Individuals Facebook Group where this months swap theme was 'Christmas' .....

The base was cut from re-cycled food packaging to 2.5 x 3.5 ins. I then chose some Crafty Individuals text background paper and trimmed this to the correct size. It was stamped with a holly stamp in green Archival ink. The background was then added to the background.

Next, I chose a stamp from Craft Individuals called 'Where did the sun Go ? - CI- 569. I stamped this on white card with Memento black ink. I then trimmed out the image of the bird with scarf and coloured this with Distress ink washes in green and brown. drying with a heat gun. I then chose the hat and bobble from the other image on the stamp and trimmed out colouring with Copic markers in green and red.

The scarf was coloured in the same Copics and the image embellished with Glossy Accents. Once dry I applied the image to the card and then applied the hat on foam pads.

I added some red pearl drops onto the background holly, finishing the card by edging with red and green Posca pens.

I die-cut the cover (Tim Holtz) with an aperture and stamped again with the holly and green Archival ink, adding some more red pearl drops before assembling the cover.

Hopefully my swap partner will like the card ...... I really enjoyed making it !
