I’m making ATC cards for this series of challenges and decided to go simple and relatively “clean” for this entry.
I first attempted to use my new ShadowPress Station and Shadow Press embossing folders on a River City Blank Deck of playing cards, using “Fossilized Amber” Distress Ink to highlight the word happy. After wasting six blanks (why don’t instructions come with more than small fuzzy photos and no words in these tools, anyway? This ShadowPress Station was NOT intuitive to me) I finally figured it out, sort of. I suppose practice will make perfect but I used a die cut mini bird crazy and some pearl stickers to hide the flaws in this final attempt. A stamped hashtag sentiment and matting with a yellow ATC card base completed my entry:
- Stamps: “Mini Bird Crazy & Things” (CMS250); #Hashtags (CMS5183)
- Dies: Framelits “Mini Bird Crazy & Things” (660949)
- Embossing Folders: Shadow Press “Wishes (659859)
- Inks: Archival “Jet Black”; Distress Markers “Frayed Burlap”, “Wild Honey”, “Mustard Seed”, “Ripe Persimmon”; Distress Ink “Fossilized Amber”
- Papers: River City Blank Deck “Playing Cards”; scrap yellow card; scrap white card
- Embellishments: Memory Box Pearl Stickers “Daffodil”
- Tools: Shadow Press Station (660209); hard rubber brayer
