Rebel Stampers ATC Swap - June Technique

The theme of this month's technique for the ATC swap on the Rebel Stampers forum is 'water-based media'. For my first ATC I decided to use Distress Inks in picked raspberry, mowed lawn  and salty ocean. I wiped the ink pads onto a craft sheet, spritzed them with water and smooshed a piece of card around until I was happy with the effect. I stamped and diecut the glamorous lady (unknown set purchased from ebay) and painted her with Distress Inks. I diecut a stitched circle and then ran it through with a TH mixed media die. The text is from the same set. I punched some flowers from some scraps of leftover painted card and added some contrasting gems.

 

My second ATC uses a stamp from the same set as above but this time I used Brushos as my water-based media. I used the negative from the stitched circle diecut above and ran it through an embossing folder for some texture. I highlighted the embossed pattern by painting it with watered down gamboge Brusho. Some gems finished off the piece.
