Dreams ATC

My second post today! Like I said I love ATC's! It was the first thing I made when I started crafting 7 years ago. Since then my passion has become stamping and mixed media, I have learned a lot in the year that I have been stamping by just going for it.
 Here is an atc I grunged up by filing the edges and adding jet black ink & distressing in old paper.

 I used Inkadinkado doodle flowers stamped with monarch orange and fern green archival inks. Coloring with water color pencils. Filling in the areas around the flowers with mustard seed distress ink. And finished by stamping the sentiment on top with stazon forest green.

Believe In your Dreams

I started with acrylic pastel paints on a #8 manila tag and applied a little peeled paint.
Background is dots fade and circle stencils done in pink blossom acrylic. I used a crackle stamp for the background in fern green and monarch orange archival inks.
Inkadinkado meadow stamp was repeatedly stamped in monarch orange to create a fuller bouquet, stem was done in fern green ink. Sentiment is from my stamp stash and was stamped with forest green archival ink.
I coffee dyed  a little string bow and attached that, and a pink button with tacky glue to finish my tag.

Discover Create Grow Wish Explore Mixed Media Tag

I  got inky last night and my fingers are still blue! Today I would like to share a mixed media tag I made with a large chipboard tag, I love the thickness and sturdiness of these tags and they are my favorite to work with.

 I started the tag off with applying decou-page matte medium over pattern paper and distressed the edges with a fingernail file. I used the dots fade stencil with black homemade texture paste- let dry and sprayed the background with hydrangea blue ink, added droplets of water and rubbed some areas with my fingers. Added the flowers, gems and other embellishments. Lastly I used tarnished brass distress paint and rubbed in with fingers, and splattered some picket fence distress paint on with a paint brush. Finishing with big chat words.
