Hi everyone. A super quick post today as I'm hitting a deadline here in entering the Fun with ATC's challenge - Windows/Doors. Having always had a passion for architecture and a need currently to get some ATC's done this seemed like a no brainer - except I don't have a door stamp!!! There goes that wish list growing again:) So what to do?
Having already made my Distress Paint rusty background and embossed it with Distress Embossing Powder the search was on for something to fit the bill. And then I spied a Michael Powell stamp with a gateway that could double as a doorway. Having stamped it in Archival Ink it got the layered painting treatment with blue and brown Distress Stains/Inks. A spot of fussy cutting, some clear heat embossing, and done! The sentiment was one which I live by. Told you this would be short and sweet. Until next time hugs to you all, Jenny xxx
Great background and love the house image you chose, fits in perfectly!!

ReplyDeleteI love this, Jenny... the MP image is gorgeous, and the subtle tinting looks great, as does the glossy finish against that fab rusty background. Great to have you play along with us at Fun With ATCs... very pleased you made the deadline!!

Always wear heavy shoes when shoving foot in door to stop it closing Jenny! Voice of experience!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though your ATC is fun!
Just in time ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the rustic shabby look of the building and Im a big fan of clear embossing images. Lovely muted colours too. thanks for joining us at fun with atc's
Hi Jenny, Very clever idea to use part of your Michael Powell stamp with this little tag. I love the different finishes you have done to give it dimension using the clear glossy emboss on the building but keeping the background still embossed but mat - lovely. Hugs Mo x
ReplyDeleteWow Jenny, this is such a great use of the Michael Powell stamp! I love the keys and your lovely background too. Great improvisation. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteA fabulous background and gorgeous techniques the stamp and sentiment go together perfectly.

It might be short, but in my book it's about quality, not quantity....
ReplyDeleteLove the effects you have achieved with this one the glossy finish on the main image against the rusty background! Love that quote too and it's perfect for this challenge!
This looks amazing--love the clear embossing which adds so much texture .
