My Fathers Day ATC


Well , how bad am I ? I said I'd post this the next day , that was 19 days ago ! Just been sooo busy. Anywho it's here now. I hope you can see it clearly, I wanted to do a lil momento of me and my Da so I had some pics of me and me and him photo copied. ( You need a printer that uses a separate toner , I discovered this after a lot of failed attempts ! So I had mine done at the printers. )
So I distressed my ATC with Tim Holtz inks and a blending tool and stamped some clock images I had on there to .
Then the fun part, I transferred the photo copy image to my ATC by blotting over the image with the ATC behind using acetone ( you do need to protect your surfaces when you do this ) the acetone reacts with the toner and the ink is released onto your card below ! WOW ! It's a fabby technique particularly if you want a aged effect .The piece of card in the bottom left is actually Tim Holtz Grunge paper and looks so old now was perfect for this effect .

Any way this technique has been done many times by crafters more experienced than me and I know if you google "image transfers with acetone" you will get video demos and a much more detailed explanation than mine !
I'm gonna sign off now as it's way past my bed time , have a great week !

1970's Green Lady

Hi Guys,
This card has no Cricut involved at all but thought I'd share anyway, I was inspired by the colours in this project which I found in this months Craft Stamper Magazine here in the UK. The designer was  Liesbeth Fiddler & I think  the colour combination is stunning ! I used different stamps and Lisbeth used gesso over the background & stamping but I didn't have any so I used Glossy Accents and really like the effect . There is stamping under and over the glossy Accents which seems to give a real depth to the images . This girl looks to me like she's just steped out of the 1970's !
Enjoy your week

My Flower Pot

This was one of my My Pink Stamper Pink Designer submissions which I can now show you . No luck this time but was my first try out which was fun. I just thought this pot was a little plain for my beautiful Hydrangea !

So a did a little decorating using Accent Essentials Cart. 
I just use my pokey tool to curl the edge of the flowers to make them sit with a little height on my project .
Well I hope you like this , I've got another post for tomorrow. Have a great Easter !

The stamp is from Elusive Images I stamped it with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Ink I used Tims Distress Embossing Powders Milled Lavender & Tattered Rose . Then a lil Distress Stickles Rock candy over the flower head. I inked around edge of the image using Antique Linen Ink pad and my blending tool & Adirondak Wild Plum & my blending tool.
I love these products!  Here it is the finished card, It's gonna be my Mam's Mothers Day Card !
