ATC Trade for May-June 2015

Hello everyone,

For the Stampotique ATC swap the theme this time was Metallic - Shiny. I made these :

I started with glueing book text on the cards, then ripping off what didn't stick very well. You get a nice distressed base like that. Next I painted gesso over it. You can still see the text here and there very faintly. I then took  Lindys Stamp Gang sprays and coloured the cards, I used a blue and a brown. I also went around the edge with a brown ink pad. I then stamped the spider web with Versa Mark and heat embossed them with copper embossing powder. 

I used Stampotique's 'Head' as the focal image. He was stamped on white card stock, coloured and cut out. The wings are metal butterflies that I cut in half. I coloured them lightly with brown and blue alcohol inks. Head was glued on his wings and then the whole image was adhered to the ATC with dimensional adhesive. Lastly I added the sentiments, which are Tim Holtz Chit Chat sticker. 

Thank you for stopping by today !
