I'm using the Craft Stamper mag free stamps to decorate my Art Journal Calendar this year, so I thought I would make a series of ATCs each month using them too. The backgrounds are watercolour paint, then stamped and for January coloured with Sakura pens. I gave away most of the January ATCs, so the two pictured here are not the best ! I also bought some things in Create and Craft TVs sale, and made the vintage style ATCs in January with some of those bits - love the roses. And I found some super Tim Holtz stamps for sale on ebay, so I had to buy them and use the umbrella man to make ATCs in Feb. He is stamped onto acetate, heat embossed, and fixed using brads over a background made from distress ink stains splattered on blue card - I was playing with the stains to see what effects I could do.
