I was playing around making ATCs and I discovered something interesting with this one...
Come back tomorrow to find out more!

Simon Says Stamp Monday ChallengeDo you like this ATC? Let me know and have a great day (or night)!
So I did a thing, I created an ATC heh...I was experimenting and it took a little while with what I was doing.
I used washi tape to mask off the letters and then outlined the letters in white. And that red bit in the top right corner? I don't know if there's a name for it, but it's when you pull the dried paint from inside the cap of a paint bottle. I had done a few layers before it got to this point, and I really like it.

Lots to look at, lots to enjoy! Come back soon!
It's kinda funny...I have lots of different kinds of adhesives. I've got tapes, dots, foam squares in different sizes, fabric glue, tacky glue, as well as gel medium. They all have their uses. Art journaling, scrapbooking, mixed media. And I find myself using at least a few in any project I'm working on. But my current obsession has got to be gel medium. Granted I have to brush it on, but it's great for working with so many different types of elements and dried pretty quickly so you can keep working.
Seriously, this stuff is amazing! It works for tissue paper, book paper, magazine cut outs, mixing with paint for texture or using through stencils. So well worth the price!
My previous ATC used tissue paper and I used The Crafter's Workshop Gel Medium to attach the tissue paper. It worked great, both to adhere the paper and cover the edges so I could work on top without issue. I used it again on this ATC with the same tissue paper, though it's hard to see. There's a peek of it near the bottom by the words "SPEAK UP." I also added some Craftsmart acrylic paint in Ocean Breeze; just swiping it on with my finger. Plus some drips from Liquitex Carbon Black Liquid Ink.
The heart is cardstock I ran through my Cuttlebug in a Tim Holtz embossing folder. I grabbed some lime green paint and my brayer, intending to add the paint to the raised image on the cardstock. It picked up some of the OCean Breeze, so I added more then drew and cut out a heart. I also stamped a Dylusions border stamp on the left.
I stamped the sentiments on cardstock and used a paint pen to fill in the larger letters. And I used my Sharpie and paint pens to add the doodles and splatters. My unicorn girl id a digi stamp from Oddball Art colored with colored pencils, as well as Tombow and Artist's Loft markers.

There's obviously lots of elements to this ATC, hehe. Which one's your favorite? Let me know in the comments! And stop by again!
Anyone have a teenager in your life? If so, then you can definitely relate to this tag, heh. I think at some point in adolescence, everyone has to deal with a moody teenager. Not that attitude is limited to teenagers, far from it! So I wanted to pay a little homage to the sass we all can exhibit from time to time.
I covered a vintage tag in gesso and used my Dylusions sprays and my stencils to start a nice background. Then I used more stencils and paint to add some more patterns. I also smeared some watered down orange paint then added my other elements. Inspired by my Dylusions border stamps, I doodled the border. I grabbed some tissue paper from a package I had received and hand cut a star, and used The Crafter's Workshop Gel Medium to adhere the tissue paper star. I stamped the word "ATTITUDE" with my alpha stamp and my Archival Black Ink, and colored an Oddball Art boy digi stamp with my Tombow markers. I also adhered a couple Tim Holtz gears and colored some little chipboard alphas with my Uni Posca green paint pen and adhered them as well. I threaded some yarn through the top and my tag was finished.

What's better than saying goodnight with a little art? Doing it again. With more neon. Neon is just awesome, isn't it?
This is another of the ATCs that has a starting layer and I'm trying to figure out the next step. This is gesso through a stencil and then neon paint watered down for a nice wash. I really like it so far.
