Instructions

Working with two ATCs side by side, the Multi-Surface paints were applied in small amounts to one ATC only before misting with water.  At this stage, the second ATC is placed face down onto the ATC which has the paints. Lightly pressing down before gently separating the ATCs and then a light mist of walnut ink.

A Time of Beginnings

Satin Ink in Lime and Pearl Ink in Black were splattered onto the prepared ATC. Onto cardstock sprayed with walnut ink, stamping the image which I see as a flower bud, fussy cutting and along with the stamped text, layering to the ATC with scrap of muslin misted with walnut ink. 

Renewal

Onto scrap of paper (it happens to be Lokta paper), the smaller of the flowers was stamped with Jet Black ink. Walnut Ink was sprayed onto white cardstock and once dry, stamping the word and also the small circles, before cutting out and adding to the ATC. Finally, stamping the Scribbled Words circle at upper corner. A final touch, a flick of Pearl Ink in Black. 

Onto the prepared ATC, to create texture, selecting a Scribbled Words stamp which has lots of dots (the small circle is a good one to select), inking up those areas only to stamp onto the ATC. 

Onto scrap of handmade paper, stamping a Scribbled Words and layering to the ATC with scrap of teabag paper stained with walnut ink and with Acrylic Liquid Wax applied and another scrap of walnut ink stained muslin. Topping this with the small feather from Nature's Gatherings. 

Thank you for your visit.
