DT post

Hi everyone - hope you have all had a good week & weekend. It's a sign the kids have gone back to school - the sun comes out!

Julie sent me some new stamps to play with for this month's DT work.

At the moment I am slightly obsessed with making ATC's ( artist trading cards). These are small pieces of art that you swap with people. Recently I have sent ATC's to Minnesota, USA, France and Scotland - it's great getting crafty post from far away & seeing other peolple's take on the theme.

The cards are 3.5 x 2.5 inches and are addictive once you get into them.

One of the challenges this month is to use teddy bears, so when the new stamps dropped through the post I knew what I was going to do!

The background is a Papermania 6x6 Urban stamp. 

I stamped it onto white paper using black Archival ink, adhered this to my card ATC then inked around the edges using frayed burlap Distress Ink.

The teddy & paint splats are Daisy & Dandelion clear stamps - Squeak goes decorating! 

I stamped Squeak using frayed burlap DI, coloured him in using watercolour pencils. I stamped the splats onto the background using spiced marmalade DI.

I cut Squeak out, went around his edges with frayed burlap DI & adhered him onto the ATC .

Hope you like him!

Thanks for taking the time to look,

Bev xx
