Acorns and Oak Leaves Acrylic ATC by Tracey Fairgrieve
11:00
Hello everyone, it's
Thursday and I feel as if I have gatecrashed the That's Crafty! Party
as I'm usually
showcasing a crafty make on Monday's sharing the day with Dorthe who keeps me
focused and out of trouble hee hee!!
Thursday is now my
new day and I have some big shoes to fill as the super talented Nikki kept you
all fixated with her creativity, wishing you all the best in your new job Nikki
and don't be stranger.
Whilst I warm up the
seat and take the stabilisers off ...
Here's an Acrylic ATC
I created recently.
Using an off cut of a
Distress Oxide paper mop up I adhered an acrylic ATC on top of the paper using
Glossy Accents and left it to dry thoroughly before cutting off the excess.
That's Crafty!
greyboard acorns and oak leaves were painted with Multi Surface Paints and
detail added by scoring into the surface with a small ball tool.
The greyboard
surfaces were glued onto the ATC after removing it's protective cover.
Glossy Accents adds
interest to the acorns and dots of paint intensify's those beautiful colours.
The wording Autumn is hand written and adds the final touch.
My Acrylic ATC is
complete..
Tomorrow (Friday
6th) That's Crafty! have some fabulous products to tempt your creative needs
on Hochanda don't forget to tune in or pop it
on to record as Neil Burley will be waving his creativity at you all at 8am and
11am (GMT). You may spot an ATC or two and a lot more inspirational makes from
the That's Crafty! Design Team.
Thank you for your
company everyone
until next Thursday.
Take Care & Stay
Safe
Creative Hugs
Tracey xx

Hi Tracey, sorry to loose you to Thursday :-)- we were a great team :-)
ReplyDeleteBut I must say you started out here, on your new day, with a gorgeous acrylic tag.
A wonderful effect with the mop up paper behind and the beautifully painted acorn and leaves on top. The colors are so stunning and love your handwritten word, as well ! So gorgeous !!!
Hugs, Dorthe, xx
Yes we have spread our wings Dorthe hee hee :) Autumn gives us so much beauty to look at how can we possibly not be inspired?? xx
DeleteA really fabulous Autumnal creation Tracey and that's a really great way to add a painty looking background to acrylic without fear of messing up too. The leaves look really gorgeous too.

DeleteWonderful ATC with those fabulous autumnal pieces! You have coloured them beautifully! The stabilisers were off before you arrived... Just a day change! Thanks for the lovely wishes... I am trying to keep up with everyone's designs but not always managing to comment. Looking forward to Neil's shows ... On record for a little weekend tv craft fest! Xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Nikki, I do hope your new job is everything you wished for but I do miss seeing your works of Art. I will keep an eye out for you next creative make, I hope the wait will not be too long xx
DeleteLove how you've altered the greyboard, especially those glossy acorns - a fabulous make. You'll do just fine in the Thursday slot by the look of things!!

Thank you Alison, the given thickness of the greyboard spoils us enabling it to be used in so many different ways xx
