ATC Swap -- Fall & Thumping

LeighAnn, thank you for the challenge. I inked up the entire image with the CBFC ink, stamped off, and then thumped with the markers.

Focal Image:
Stampin’ Up! Cardstock, Very Vanilla
Rubber Tree Stamps; 34-17
Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink, Creamy Brown (second generation stamping)
Tombow Markers, 098 (green); 993 (mustard); 977 (brown)
Stampin’ Up! Marker, Really Rust

Embellishment:
Recollections Embellishments #267984 (wood leaf shapes)
Ranger Distress Stain, Vintage Photo (stained, misted with water, blotted, stained again, blotted)
Ranger Multi Medium, Matte (to attach the leaves)

Mat:
I made the background pieces some time ago. I decided they added a bit of texture and interest to these ATCs. I learned the technique from Nancy Curry's book, Texture Effects for Rubber Stamping. I applied powdered pigments to black glossy cardstock. Then I applied alcohol inks over the powdered pigments to blend and dissolve them. I edged the mat with a dark green Tombow Marker, 249.

TFL.

This is such a serene fall scene! The mat is really interesting in person, I'm glad you included how you did that, I thought it was a specialty paper. Love the colors you used on your image. The coloring on the trees is wonderful! Thanks for sending me this beauty!

These look very fallish. The thumping worked well with this or these stamps. TFS
