Good morning- and here's something completely different from me! I've never made ATCs before but wanted to play along with the new challenge blog, Steampunk Challenge. I have to say I really enjoyed creating these tiny projects and I could get completely hooked, such a great way of trying out different techniques and using some of the tiny stamps that get a bit lost on a card. I do love Steampunk style too- the mixture of fantasy , time travel and technology really appeals to my imagination. My base cards (carefully measured) were cut from a previously made experiment using brushos and texture paste. I added a bit of stencilling and stamping.
This one is my favourite- I stamped and embossed the boot, added a little colour with a bronze metallic pen and fussy cut. I stamped and fussy cut a pair of wings which you can't actually see because I stuck the feathers on top, then added them to the base. The row of metallic hearts are actually silver, look quite dark in the photo.
For the second one I used another stamp from the same set, stamped and embossed but left uncoloured this time. Tore the edges and sponged with distress ink. Added some cogs and a button and a tiny metal plaque that says 'why not?'The silver elements are the chain, safety pin and key charm.
These were such fun to make and I really enjoyed doing something that was, for me, a little bit different.
Thanks for stopping by
Chris

Love your ATCs Chris, and the colours are great. I often struggle with small projects, feeling that I don't have enough room, but I have been making an effort to use smaller tags, smaller journals, and yes, even ATCs, so well done with these. Thanks for joining us at Steampunk Challenge Blog - Elle xx
Fabulous!!!!
