Valentine Challenge journey - day 7

Halfway there! Can't believe it really but that's the way life goes; february already..... Here is today's ATC
For the base card I masked sections with tissue tape and inked, repositioned the tape and added another colour, then again in the other direction to create a check/plaid pattern. I then Stamped the Tim flourish in brushed corduroy. I loved these little heart mirrors when I saw them and at only 59p for 6 how could I resist!
(you can use silver mirri card for a similar feel.) I stamped the bird from one of Tim's ATC stamps onto the mirror in stazon and when dry added a few microbeads. The L and crown are both grunge, I just lightly inked the letter, the crown I covered in glossy accents and smothered with more beads. And there you have it, day 7 finished! Have fun with it.......

  2. This is great Neil, am enjoying this little sojourn into my more arty side, used to do a lot of this style before I started to make cards, weird how you change during different periods of your life eh? Heidix

  3. I am anxious to give this one a try. Isn't it fun to find little bargains, have no use for them, tuck them away, and then SOMEDAY they are just exactly what we need. I write the date bought, store, and how much I paid so that the excitement can be relived again. I know...I need to get a life!! Linda
