Church Window ATC by Alison Hall

Hi Everyone! I have a little mixed media ATC to share with you today.

Here's what I used...

That's Crafty! Surfaces - White/Greyboard - ATC

That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Church Window, Hole In The Wall

Carabelle Studio Stamp Set - French Lily Background by Birgit Koopsen

Prima Finnabair Art Basics - 3D Gloss Gel -Transparent

PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paint - Hint of Mint, Brown Shed

Ranger Archival Ink Pad - Forget-Me-Not, Jet Black

Sharpie Fine Point Writing Pen - Black

DecoArt Metallic Lustre Wax Finish - Gold Rush

Tim Holtz Idea-ology Chitchat Stickers

Palette Knife, Paintbrush, Stencil Brush, Heat Gun

Here's what I did...

1. I began by painting my ATC with a coat of Hint of Mint Fresco Paint. 

2. Next, I stamped the French Lily Background with Forget-Me-Not Archival Ink, then I dried this with my heat gun.

3. I used a palette knife to apply 3D Gloss Gel through the Church Window Dinky Stencil. I carefully dried this with my heat gun. The gel bubbled a bit, but I rather like this effect.

4. I replaced the Church Window stencil, and rubbed gold rush gilding wax over the gel, then I used the Sharpie pen to outline the window.

5. Next, I partially stencilled the Hole in the Wall on the left of my ATC around the window, with Brown Shed Fresco Paint. 

6. I used Jet Black Archival Ink to stamp the honeycombe part of the French lily Background just on the lefthand edge of my ATC.

7. To finish, I inked the edges of my ATC with the black Archival ink pad, then added a chitchat word sticker.

Happy crafting,
