The theme of the swap was embossing. I've never made an ATC before, but will definitely be making more as there is so much scope for incorporating them into other pieces of work. I also really enjoyed working in small space.
The background was created using distress inks and the blender tool. The images have been stamped in black ink and then heat embossed three times to give a really glossy finish.
Tools:
Heat Gun
Tim Holtz Blender Tool
Materials:
ATC - made using white card from The Papermill
Embossing Powder
Archival Ink
Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Victorian Velvet, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire, Forest Moss
