SIMPLE ATC'S..

 Hello everyone,

Well, well, well, the time has done it again, it carried on until Saturday and I was still on Wednesday, what happened..Christmas cards are starting to pop into my letter box, which is always so exciting, I used to get bills too, but with all this online stuff the letter box just gathers dust and leaves so Christmas and birthdays are always the best time of the year for that..

So, onto todays project which is short and sweet and simple, but effective, and again PINK snowflakes..



Red alcohol ink and blending solution on Yuppo paper..


adding some green. being very careful as this can make brown..


When 99% dry I added a few gold  Mica flakes.


with a blob in the middle!!


this one was made using the same red but darker green and deliberately
trying to make a bit of brown on the edges..I liked this one and nearly made a card by drawing with gold marker, strings, to make them into baubles..


Here they are side by side..


A right cut and a wrong cut, I ended up with 6 ATC's..
Then decided to add snowflakes with modelling paste  ( Mont Marte )and a stencil.


and of course the red being red no matter what it is, some went pink.
But there they are....done..simple, no frills..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll hopefully see you again before Christmas..

luv CHRISSYxx

Oh wow those are such gorgeous backgrounds to your snowflakes, I like how using the alcohol inks you never really know how they will turn out so each is unique like a snowflake :)
