Stampbord

I spent around 2 hours working on one of these yesterday, watercolouring, then scratching out and I was really pleased with what I’d done. I then decided to wipe it over to get rid of the dust and didn’t realise the sponge was as wet as it was. I smudged all the black (Versafine) ink and wiped off half the watercolouring, but I was very good, lol, I didn’t swear. I came upstairs for another one, stamped it, took my paints downstairs and started again, but this one isn’t anywhere near as good as the last one – typical……. I was in the middle of cooking and getting tired by this time – in fact, I almost burned the food…… sigh! The colours seemed to mute when I put the UTEE on, though – they were really vivid and I worked SO hard on the skin, which hardly shows up!! Maybe I won’t spend quite so much time on the next one………..
To make things even worse, I’ve just noticed that I neglected to colour in the chain around his neck – grrrr!!!! I was going to do it with Krylon pen when I came upstairs but I forgot…….

Red, Black and Gold ATCs

Very simple red, black and gold ATCs.
One of these has been overstamped with a Stampendous crackle stamp, using Krylon Gold pen.

This one’s much nicer in the flesh, though simple. The butterfly behind the text is done with Sparkle Gold mica powder. I’m almost sure I changed this after photographing it, though 😦 I did another one and clear embossed that – I like that but it hasn’t photographed well and I’ve sent them off, now.

Men with Beards and moustaches

Here’s my entry for Think Monday, Think ATC. I thought I had loads of men with moustaches and/or beards, until I looked and found I only have two! Must get more……..
