Making Three Swimming-Themed ATCs | Mixed Media, Gelli Prints & Vintage Images
In today's video I am creating three swimming-themed ATCs using backgrounds from my stash, along with vintage images, Baked Texture Embossing Powders and Aladine iZink Pigment Inks.
Each ATC begins with a completely different background – Graphic 45 papers, a gelli print embossed with waves, and a colourful iZink inked acetate background. I then combine them with vintage swimming images, stamping, die cuts and sentiments to create three unique Artist Trading Cards.
It is always satisfying to rediscover backgrounds and scraps that have been waiting patiently in the stash for just the right project!
Materials Used
• Graphic 45 papers
• Seth Apter Baked Texture Embossing Powder – Deep Sea
• Seth Apter Baked Texture Embossing Powder – Dirty Sand
• Gelli plate prints
• Wave embossing folder (magazine free gift)
• Gecko Galz – Retro Active Ladies digital download
• Shell dies (magazine free gift)
• Aladine iZink Pigment Inks
• Beneath the Waves stamp set (Creative Stamping magazine)
• Brusho Powders
Thank you so much for watching. If you enjoyed the video, I would really appreciate a like, and if you would like to see more mixed media, ATCs and stash-busting projects, please consider subscribing.
I'd love to know in the comments... Which background would be your first choice?
