This pretty collage style ACT, is what I would like you to name for me, the winning name will win the ATC shown. If the name I choose had been suggested by more than one person, then the name of those people, will have their names picked out of the proverbial hat.
My inspiration for the ATC came from a scrap of paper that was just too pretty to throw away! So, how did I make it?
I started with an MDF base, I began by covering with the paper by Craftbox UK, because the paper was to small to cover the whole of the ATC, I decided to paint the top part & for this I used DecoArt Crafters Acrylic in Purple Passion.
When it was completely dry, I applied a 2 part crackle liquid by Cosmic Shimmer, while drying I heat embossed the little MDF heart using Persian Indigo embossing powder by WOW! this is lovely, with it's beautiful rich colour & gentle shimmer. When cool I stamped over it using a random word stamp & edged with black Archival Ink by Ranger. Sorry, but I don't know what brand the stamp is or what the words read, it is to small for my poor old eyes to make it out lol..! After adhering the heart in place, I went back to work on the top part again. I felt that even though the crackle paste had worked nicely, the piece still lacked something? So after a think over a cup of tea, I remembered that I had some sticky back gems, you know the cheap ones that come on a line of glue? I never use them normally, but they were the perfect finishing touch. So, I ran a line of glue following the curve of the paint, to make sure that they stayed out & then with a sponge I dabbed some of the same paint on them to blend them in ..... Voila, I now had an ACT that I was happy to share .....
So a few rules ...
