Andy Skinner ATC

Hello Everyone and thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog today.

I have been having a quiet weekend just shopping and crafting as I know work is going to be crazy for the next two weeks.........

So today I created an ATC with my new Andy Skinner stencils that arrived in the post earlier in the week:




It's a Ranger sticky back canvas ATC and I started by spritzing it with dylusions inks (lemon zest, pure sunshine and squeezed orange) and some water.  I dried it with my heat tool and then used part of the tornado stencil with picked raspberry distress ink.  I then took the children stencil and used black soot distress ink to create the silhouette of the two children.  I added a border around the edge with a black micron pen and added the words from Tim Holtz stickers.

I would like to enter my ATC into the following challenges:

 Thanks for stopping by today

    This is stunning. I love the dramatic background that you have created. I've never been brave enough to colour up sticky back canvas but you have definitely inspired me to try. Thanks for joining in at Anything But A Card this time. Lisette x

    Claire, wow, what a beautiful ATC! You lucky gal, I've been drooling over those Andy Skinner stencils for a while now. You have certainly done them justice!
    What's neat to see how the picked raspberry looks over the Dylusions on the canvas, from the photo I wouldn't have guessed. So cool!

    Thanks for crafting with us in the Marvelous Masks and Spectacular Stencils Challenge at Inspiration Emporium!!

    Hugs

    Fresh, zingy and gorgeous Claire! I love how you've used the Andy stencils - I haven't bought the children one yet. . . . This has such atmosphere for a tiny piece of work. Love it!
