ATC Challenge

Hi Crafters,

I enjoy a bit of mixed media in between my regular card making but rarely get the chance to have a good play on anything too big so ATC's are perfect for me.
When I have the time I've been joining in with a monthly ATC challenge but realised that I haven't shared any photo's of them here so these are my 3 little pieces of art for the theme of 
TIME


The tag stamp is from a Viva Decor set called 'Tags Time'
I have water-coloured the tags with Distress Inks and glazed over them with TH Crackle Glaze, then added a metal eyelet to the top.
The sentiment stamp comes from a Sheena Douglas stamp set called 'Time Travelers' and I have stamped and cut it to fit around the larger word to complete the sentence. 
My background paper is from a Kanban 'Industriana' Paper Pad which I have edged with black ink and then clear embossing powder to define it against the black backing card.
I've tucked a couple of small cogs and watch parts under the tag too.


I love how the crackle glaze has made the clock face look really old and I've really enjoyed my little dabble in to mixed media this week.

Look forward to seeing you here again soon,

Lorraine

Love your ATC and the texture and design is stunning. I have some on the wall above my desk that I did over 10 years ago, when it was popular then. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Carol S.xx
