Almost finished the crayon resist ATC for the darkroom door swap. I actually liked doing a technique themed swap this time around.
If you go to rachel's blog http://www.rachelgreig.typepad.com/darkroomdoor/ you can find details of her swaps and cards using her stamps. The more I look at the pic the more I think I should add some beading to the ribbon??? Ummmm I think I have to add some beading, the ribbon looks very tacked on the end. Why is it tacked on? Because the stamp is not the right size for an atc but, I didn't think to measure before i stuck it down!!
Also a card made using the sample atc. I generally make a sample so that I can play around before I decide what to do. If it turns out half decent then it becomes a card otherwise straight in the bin. Sometimes kitty has a good chew before it lands in the bin so nothing is ever wasted.
These are fabulous projects! I love the stamp and the colours are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteDid you use the crayon resist technique on the flower itself?
Beautiful!

Hi, thanks for your visit to my blog... since I visited yours yesterday I've ordered a set of these stamps... that's how much your work impressed me! Although I have several sets of Darkroom Door stamps already, I can't wait for these to arrive!

Hi Sandra, I love the ATCs. If you think they need some more embellishing how about throwing some microbeads on the ribbon? That would be quite subtle but would work nicely, I think.
