Hi friends, today I have some fun summer ATC's to share with you. Gina custom cut me some ATC blanks, and I was totally inspired by summer when I created these.
I love the fun and colour palette of the summer! I wanted to share a little tutorial with you for this first ATC I will show you below here. I created a fun background for this ATC using the Cardstock Doily Intricates.
I started off with one of the chipboard blanks and a watercolour blank. I got out some of Gina's Cardstock doilies next, and decided to use the doilies as a stencil this time. I used some of my favorite sprays in blues and teals and white. I love these doilies, they are so versatile!
I started off with a darker colour first then layered on some of the lighter ones, moving the doily and changing up which one I used (cuz you get lots of different ones in the package!).
Lastly, I used some white distress spray as the last spray to add more contrast. These doilies are so useful for stencilling and now that I have them coloured from the sprays they are ready to use on another project later
Here is my finished background.
After the background was done I used my dragonfly stamp from Prima and embossed it with white embossing powder and used some blue ink to stamp the body of the dragonfly. I then used some Silks Acrylic Glazes on the chipboard dragonfly and added my sentiment to complete the ATC.
For the next ATC, I used the String Along Shape Set Shells for this piece and cut it apart to make the bubbles. I used some sticky back canvas for the background piece and played with my watercolours to make some bubbles in the background.
Once I was happy with the watercolour, I added some highlights with my white sharpie pen. For the corners of the ATC, I used some nail art, crushed shells to add texture.
For the next ATC I used the Beach Shape Set. I used my Twinkling H20's to give a "beachy" type background.
One of my favorite things to do, is to walk along the beach collecting shells and stones for my collection, so that was my inspiration for this ATC.
I embossed the chipboard with some gold embossing powder then when that was heated up I sprinkled some Aged Ivory embossing powder from Stampendous on them. I love the texture and dimension that playing around with embossing powder gives to the chipboard pieces.
Lastly, I used some glitter and mica flakes which I adhered down with some clear glue and a little jute bow to top off the sand dollar.
I hope you have enjoyed my post today, check out all these great items in Gina's Store.
