September ATC: Travel/Pink

The prompt for the September ATC swap over on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes and ATCs is Travel/Pink.  I had plenty of stamps to choose from!  This is what I came up with.

For the ATC

Choose a background created at the Clarity retreats in August.

Trim off an ATC sized piece (3.5” x 2.5”).

Add the ATC stamp onto the back in Vibrant Fuchsia Archival ink. Add the date and bespoke name in the same ink. Add the title and edition using a pink micron pen.

Stamp the Taj Mahal stamp from the Famous Places stamp set onto the front in Jet Black Archival ink.

Add white Posca pen to the building.

Brush Word Lipstick Distress ink over the sky.

Ground the Taj Mahal with a Faber-Castell Polychromo pencil (#123).

To finish, add the sentiment from the stamp set in the same ink as before.

For the card

Take a background created at the Clarity retreats in August and trim it to 5” x 3.5”.

Mask off around the top section and brush Worn Lipstick Distress ink across the top using a Clarity stencil brush. Remove the low tack tape.

Add the small Eiffel Tower from the Sketchy London, Paris & New York stamp set in Jet Black Archival ink.

Add one of the black Pergamano rub-on transfers from the Friendship sentiments.

Edge the topper with a black Sharpie pen and add it to the front of a 5” x 5” white card blank.

Take a gel plate pull on double sided adhesive, add it to card and use baby powder on the front where it is still sticky. Trim it to 2cm wide and edge the top and bottom with a black Sharpie pen.

To finish, add the strip to the front of the card and trim the excess.
