Catch A Falling Star ATC by Fliss Goodwin
11:00
Hello
everyone, I can’t believe Friday is here again and I think time goes more
quickly on the run up to a certain festive day! As winter is now firmly here, I
have a wintery ATC to share, which was one of the samples I created for the
last Hochanda shows.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Surfaces Bits & Pieces Greyboard Sheets – Fairies and Wings, Moon
and Stars
That’s Crafty! Shimmer Paints – Dark Blue, Pearl, Pink, Purple
That’s Crafty! Multi Surface Paints – Black, Yellow
Recipe:
First
give the ATC a coat of white gesso. This is not essential but I find it gives a
good grounding for later layers of paint.
Next,
apply dots of the shimmer paints to your craft mat and pick the colour up with
a paint brush to add swipes of colour roughly diagonally across the surface of
the ATC. Carry on until the surface is covered.
Stamp
the stars text twice on the painted surface to the top and bottom opposite
corners with the black ink and heat emboss with the clear embossing powder.
Stamp showers of stars in between with the pink ink.
Take
the girl on the moon greyboard shape that best fits the ATC size and paint her
with a couple of coats of black multi surface paint to give a strong silhouette
effect.
Paint
a star yellow and when dry, brush glitter glue over the top for some sparkle.
Paint some of the stamped stars with the glitter glue and run some around the
outer edge of the ATC surface.
Glue
the silhouette and the star on to finish, positioning the star so that it looks
as if the girl is catching it.
We
have a new challenge for you today over at That’s Crafty! Challenge Blog so do
hope over to see how you can win a great prize and to look at the amazing
inspiration from the design team.
Have
a great weekend and see you next week.

Loving those embossed words Fliss, they really do draw the eye. Love the idea of using the girl on the moon surface on the ATC she sits beautifully. Fab ATC.
