So check out my newest ATC! I added some paint because I wasn't a fan of the background. Then I went to town with adding other details.
I'm entering my ATC into the following challenge:
What are some of your favorite supplies? Thanks for visiting and come back soon!
I had an idea to try something new with this ATC and I really like how it turned out.
I used a lot of different supplies with this ATC. Stamping, rub-ons, acrylic paint, die-cuts, adhesive enamel shapes, paint markers. Did I mention I used a lot?

What supplies do you put together a lot? Thanks for visiting and come back soon!
Making a background is important. It can be the kick start to a new project...
I made a bit batch of ATCs, including this one. And then I went to town, heh.
I'd love to know what you think. Have a great day and come back soon!
So I promised more information, and here we go....
I did a lot of stuff on this ATC. Tried some new techniques and discovered something new about a stencil. SO this ATC started out as gesso through a Dylusions stencil and then watered down paint colors added to it (the orange and yellow).
Then I added some darker teal, and then when I was playing with texture paste, I added what I was playing with to the ATC. I'm going to post more about that soon.
I traced around a few of the numbers with a Sharpie pen as well as around the edge of the ATC. I also had some ultramarine and purple paint mixed together and added to some projects with a sponge. I decided to use a stencil that I call a pie chart stencil and only filled in two petal shaped sections with the paint. I loved it, so I did it again on notebook paper and cut out the heart.
I stamped the star, added the paint bits, and sectioned off letters on another Dylusions stencil to create the word, before outlining the letters with my Uni Posca white paint marker. I've seen that technique used several times. I don't know if that's how it was done, but it worked for me. I will say it took a looooong time. I used washi tape to block off the letters, but between that and trying to add just the right amount paint to prevent bleed through, the whole process took time. More time than I thought, though I like the effect.
Will I do it again? Not sure. Maybe finding a way to make the process faster. The paint bits are that paint that spills out over the opening and dries. You pull it off and save that part. Those I really love.

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

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.

I have a project brewing... Here's a little look to feast your eyes on!
