Christmas Artist Trading Cards - Scrapmatts DT

The second Scrapmatts DT brief was to create a Christmas theme ATC. I love the range of different shaped bases available so I decided to use three different ones and decorate them in a similar style.

 

Pretty quick and easy design:

1/ Cover chipboard and words with gesso and let dry.

2/ Spray red and green dylusions ink from opposite ends, sprinkle with salt to get fluctuations in colour.

3/ Run a gold ink pad around the edges.

4/ Stamp versamark flourish design over background and emboss with clear UTEE.

5/ Heat emboss the amazing reindeer designs in gold.

6/ Adhere film strip and chipboard to bases.

 

The film strip was a bargin item I picked up from Reverse Garbage in Brisbane. I got two 10 meter rolls, one green tinged and one red tinged, for $4 each! So much cheaper than getting the Tim Holtz versions. :)

Scrapmatts chipboard used: ATC10-004, ATC10-008, ATC10-010, CB5050, CB5097.
