Architecture ATCs

A couple of ATCs for the monthly swap I take part in on the Rebel Stamper forum. The theme was Architecture and after rummaging around in my stamp box I found one of the Eiffel Tower. Is it just me or does it look more like Blackpool...




I used Tim's brushless watercolour technique for this first ATC, as described in Day Two of his amazing Creative Chemistry 101 online workshop. The image was stamped onto watercolour paper and when dry the text was stamped in black. A fleur-de-lys rub on was applied to a small Tim Holts fragment piece and attached to the card with Glossy Accents.




For the second ATC I used the Tissue Wrap College technique again. The background was stamped with French Script in black permenant ink then covered with a light splattering of PVA glue. Green tissue paper was squiggled over the top making sure wrinkles were created. Once dried, Bundled Sage Distress Ink was swiped over the top to make the wrinkles pop and the edges were inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. The Eiffel (Blackpool?) Tower was then stamped in Olive Archival Ink and the tower detail cut out, leaving a white boarder. This was then layered over the tag with foam pads.


Day 5 of CC101...can't wait to see what Tim has for us today!
