'Mickey' ATC

This is my entry for the TMTA challenge for this week. The challenge was to craft an ATC in the theme of 'Comic'. It's the first I have done for a while but I enjoyed making it. I can't think of anyone who hasn't seen Mickey Mouse so I chose this character as my subject.

I used:

• Card (white cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches)
• Whispers Dye Inks (Yellow & Orange)
• Versamark Inkpad
• Versafine Inkpad (Onyx black)
• Embossing Powder (Glitter Gold)
• Rubber Stamp (small outline star, Making Memories alphas)
• Brads (metallic red)Inkjet Transparency

The image of Mickey (from the sorcerers apprentice in Fantasia by Disney) was first printed onto Inkjet transparency film. The background of the card was coloured with cut'n'dry foam and Whispers dye inks in yellow & orange, applied in a sort of starburst effect. This was heat set.

The star stamp was inked with Versamark, stamped four times as shown and heat embossed with the gold sparkle embossing powder. Finally the acetate with the image was positioned over the background and affixed with four brads as shown. The acetate was then trimmed to size.

Hope you like it :-)

Postcard from London

Here is my entry for the Sunday Challenge on UK Stampers Forum. This weeks postcard had to be from London.

I used:

• White card (cut to 6 x 4 inches)
• Inkjet transparency
• Stamps (Postage stamp - Crafty Individuals, centre moulding - ISC & calligraphy ?)
• Versafine Inkpad (onyx black & vintage sepia)
• Moonshadow Mist (Gossamer gold)
• Whispers Dye inkpad (brown)
• Brads (copper screw head)
• Glossy Accents

I searched online and found three images of London landmarks and collaged them on the computer which I then printed onto Inkjet transparency film. This was trimmed to allow a border around the collaged image to stick the transparency onto the card.

I stamped the moulding stamp and the calligraphy with the Versafine vintage sepia ink as shown. The stamped card was then sprayed with the Moonshadow Mist in gossamer gold to age and darken. Once dry the postal stamp was inked with the Versafine onyx black and stamped as shown. The card was edged with the brown Whispers dye inkpad, direct to card and the trimmed transparency adhered with a thin bead of glossy accents to the card. Finally the two brads were fixed as shown.

That's it.....very simple really ! Hope you like it :-)
