Rusty ATC’s by Amanda Southern

Hi Everyone
I’d like to share with you today a couple of the ATC’s that
I made to support the Launch of That’s Crafty! on Hochanda TV.
Here’s What I Did:-
Both
ATC’s are made on That’s Crafty! own brand MDF ATC’s. Both had a thin coat of
gesso applied first and then I stencilled texture paste through 2 different
Dinky Stencils. Once that was dry I then painted them both using Prima Art Extravagance Rust Paste Set and I add PaperArtsy Bora Bora paint to add a little
verdigris effect to the rust. With the rust paint set you get 3 different
colours Gold Rust, Red Rust & Brown Rust and depending how you add the
separate colours determines the effect you get. You will see that both of the
ATC’s are slightly different as the second one has much more of the brown rust
which also has much more texture in it.
Once all that lovely rust paint was dry I decorated each one. The heart
I have added is the smallest heart available from That’s Crafty! heart substrate
range. I had stamped the image onto a Distress coloured piece of card and then
coloured the lips and glued onto the heart and trimmed it off. The sentiment I
have added has been cut from the same stamp and edged with Distress ink.
The
second ATC I stamped the butterfly onto a bit of scrap card from my scrap box
and then cut out. The crime tape was masking tape that I stuck to a glass
cutting mat and then painted it with black paint. I then stamped the wording in
using paint to stamp with. I then trimmed down the masking tape with a very
sharp craft knife. The word is a remnant rub added to a bit of Distress
coloured card.
Here’s What I Used:-
That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils – Reverse Honeycomb and Metal Grid
Crime
Scene Stamp – from VLVS
Distress Inks – Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Frayed Burlap
Dylusions Paint – Black Marble & Lemon Zest
Have a fabulous week and I’ll see you next Tuesday
Love

Scrumptious rusty texture and great patina colours. Such original stamping too - the crime scene butterfly one really appeals to me.
