STAMPlorations Paint it Red

I am playing in STAMPlorations "Paint it Red" Challenge

I was inspired to make my STAMPlorations February "Paint it Red" Challenge ATC after seeing Shirley's Distress Oxide ATC's Spotlight projects! Be sure and check out her projects:-)

Here is my finished ATC made into a finished A2 card.

I used two A2 size pieces of  Strathmore Bristol paper and made one piece using yellow and red Distress Oxide Inks and the other using greens and blues Distress Oxide Inks. 

To color my A2 pieces I used my Distress Oxide pads and smeared ink 

one color at a time onto a piece of acetate. 

Then spritzed with my T.H. spritzer and Smooshed and Splashed my inks

onto my A2 paper using my dear friend, Loll's video techniques.

I dried each layer of ink with my heat gun.

When backgrounds were finished I was able to get 4 die cut ATC"s.

Here is a photo of 3 of my background samples

Then more fun..added water drops with my T.H. spritzer, added EB paste thru Sanna's "Evolution Stencil",  stamped sentiment and grunge images with black archival ink, added punched foil heart and doodled stitching for border.  I loved the results.

I framed my ATC with SU So Saffron CS attaching with fun foam to pop up ATC.

Next I used my Clarity Brush to add a soft So Saffron inked stenciled image background 

using my ARTplorations "Evolution" stencil by Sanna.

Attached framed ATC to A2 card base and Done!

Thank you again Shirley for your Spotlight Inspiration!  Such a fun inky play day:-)  Hugs...
