January ATC Swap - Snowflakes
|
This ATC is made of Canson 140lb watercolor paper. The white snowflakes were stamped with Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink and embossed with Ranger Super Fine Detail Clear EP. I used the embossed resist technique to color the background with a sponge applicator and distress inks. I used a technique shared by Far North to make the largest snowflake. I inked the stamp with a black Speedball Elegant Writer calligraphy marker. The ink bleeds out in pretty gray/green/blues to sometimes even pink. Instead of using a water pen, I used a Wink of Stella brush pen to bleed some color out of the black, it creates kind of a halo around the snowflake. You can especially see it in the center. I bled out the black triangles in to the open triangles. I lightly misted the whole ATC with water to get some texture and little droplets and set the calligraphy ink.
Snowflake stamps - Hero Arts, Martha Stewart, Memory Makers and PSX (the largest)
Sentiment - cut from a larger Autumn Leaves stamp
