This is my second post for today - to see my New Year wishes scroll down to the previous 2 posts
It's not the actual ATC that I am recycling, but all the elements on it. So if you've still got lots of bits and pieces left on your craft desk why not use them up on an ATC of your own and enter it into the Stamp Man ATC swap for the new year.
I have several ATCs already covered with bits of paper left from projects and given a wash of watered down gesso. So I chose one of those that went with bits of paper, a small rosette not used at Christmas. a TH banner, a butterfly and some leaves just sitting around and feeling very lonely. Put them together and this is the result. The only new thing I used was my Zutter distresser that was a Christmas present from my son and DiL. It really distresses the edges of paper, card, grungeboard, chipboard, in fact you name it, it will probably do it.
Supplies used -
Stamps - small flourish from TH mini classics
TH Rosette die
TH banner die
Crealies leaf die and butterfly die
Happy New Year to one all and I hope 2012 will be a year full of love, happiness and peace.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
