One Stamp ATC

Hi friends,

I am sharing a mixed-media ATC with you all today. This ATC was made as a part of an Indian ATC exchange group and we were allowed to use only 1 stamp or 1 stamp set to make the ATC. Being the newbie stamper I am, who loves using stamps for everything possible, this was  a great opportunity to look at other supplies I have to complete the ATC. 

Materials Used:

• Iris Paper
• Acetate Sheet
• Distress Ink: Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Dried Marigold & Aged Mahogany
• Adirondack Ink: Cranberry & Lettuce
• Alcohol Blending Solution 
• Penny Black Clear Stamps - Blooming Garden
• Blending Foam & Felt 
• Koi Water Brush
• Sakura 24 colour water color pen 
• Helix Alphabet Stencil 
• Sakura micro 05
• Butterfly sequins
• Red tacky tape 
• Foam tape
• Paper Twine

Method: 

• Using distress ink squeezed lemonade, wild honey & dried marigold, I created the background
• Then I distressed the edges of the background using aged mahogany distress ink
• For the sentiment, I created the tag using dried marigold & age mahogany 
• Thereafter, I cut the actate of desired size & using Adirondack Ink Cranberry & Lettuce and alcohol blending solution, I created a random and bright background on the acetate
• Then I stamped the desired flower design on another cardstock and coloured using sakura 24 water colour pen & fussy cut it
• Using the alphabet stencil, I wrote the sentiment on the sentiment tag with help of Sakura Micron 
• Once all the elements were ready, with help of red tacky tape, I adhered the acetate background on the big background at the lower bottom , leaving it open from top (notice the acetate is adhered off centre to create balance)
• Then I took a piece of orange twine and tied it around the base
• With the help of foam tape, I attached the stamped flower on top of the twine
• I punched a hole on the sentiment tag and adhered a piece twine through it & placed it in between the acetate sheet & the background
• Finally to finish the ATC, I added some butterly sequins around the acetate 

Hope you liked the tutorial & were inspired
