*******

Make Marks #3

I secured the Make Marks #3 stencil on my SU Whisper White 100# CS and
sponged with Distress Oxide Inks: Broken China and Peacock Feathers.

I used a Smooshed Distress Oxide on SU Glossy CS technique for my main image.
Drying between each new DOX ink color.
I used DOX inks: Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, Tattered Rose, Shaded Lilac,

Wilted Violet and Broken China.  I die cut the finished backgrounds into
two ATC's with CUTplorations ATC Tag Builder Dies.  One went into my stash.

When dry I Wiped off Distress Oxide chalky residue with baby wipe, 

which magically brightened the ATC card.  Let dry.

Next stamped the borders with STAMPlorations :Artsy Border Maker using MISTI.

Blotted with paper towel and heat dried to make sure Archival Jet Black ink dry.

Stamped STAMPlorations Life in Full Color sentiment on glossy paper and

popped up with white Craft Foam.

Popped up ATC with foam and attached to card base and Done!

Such a fun card to design.

Make Marks #2

I used CUTplorations ATC Tag Builder again to die cut glossy cardstock.

Secured Helen G stencil over ATC and used sponge daubers to color the Make Marks #2

Helen G stencil with Distress Oxide inks: Candied Apple, Lucky Clover and
Blueprint Sketch.

I used the same smooshing technique as on my 1st and 3rd ATC cards.

Swiped ink onto Glass Mat and spritzed with water, then picked up ink
with sponge dauber.

When dry Wiped off Chalky residue with baby wipe and let dry.  

Then buffed with paper towel.

Placed ATC in MISTI and stamped Life in Full Color border stamp.

Then stamped and cut out sentiment from the same set.

Attached  sentiment with White foam to ATC .

Then used leftover inks to make splatters with paint brush.

Then popped up main ATC image with White craft foam and
attached to card base and Done!

Loved this card too:-)

Make Marks #5

My 3rd card using the same ATC technique as the previous die cut ATC's.

  Stenciled using sponge dauber to add misted Broken China and 

Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks

thru the Make Marks #5 stencil.  When dry wiped with baby wipe.

Love how that brings out the color.

TIP: use clean area of baby wipe as you move around to wipe off the chalky residue.

Added glossy CS to MISTI and stamped with Archival Jet Black ink and trimmed.

Colored sentiment with Zig markers with colors to match background.

Popped up sentiment and ATC  onto glossy CUTplorations Crazy Double
Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies layer.
Next attached to SU Whisper White 100# CS and Done!
