ATC Trio "Learn"

Hello Beauties!

I'm Zoey and today I will show you how I created these quick and easy ATCs using some awesome stamps by IndigoBlu!

I wanted to play a bit with this fun stamp set that are from this year release -- IndigoBlu Chemistry Lab A5 Red Rubber Stamp - by Kay Halliwell-Sutton.

I used for my ATC base the awesome IndigoBlu Fontastic Ephemera - Mixed Media Paper Pad - 12x12  that is ON SALE right now, so I would suggest you to grab it before its gone! I love this vintage-ish paper pad. The design is unique and perfect for any of you that love vintage!



I cut the paper to size and then I used my fingers to slightly apply Gesso. I let it dry then I took some IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paint and added some color to the background.

I let it completely dry, then I grabbed the awesome IndigoBlu Stencil - Texture (6"x 6") and still with my fingers I tapped a bit of color through the stencil. I wanted to get a subtle tone on tone effect because I wanted the stamps to be the main focus and not the..background!



I let it dry again and then I stamped randomly here and there with IndigoBlu Harlequin A6 Red Rubber Stamp; please note that the stamped image you see is a second/third generation stamp. So if you want to get the look I have just stamp the image once on a piece of scrap paper, then stamp onto your surface.



I stamped a couple of stamps from the new IndigoBlu Chemistry Lab A5 Red Rubber Stamp - by Kay Halliwell-Sutton over a piece of old book page and with the same colors I used in the background, I colored the stamped images.



I decided to use the same color I used in the background mixed with gesso.



I darkened up the sides and then added some stitches around the borders.
And the ATCs are done....!







Stay Happy, Stay Creative...till next time!

Ciao Zoey

Beauty ATC

Hello Everyone...and happy Sunday!

Here I am today with another ATC for you! You should know how I love making ATCs, they are awesome and I absolute love working in small sizes, makes everything so interesting!

For my ATC I used, as always, only Indigoblu products (except for the ink and stitch of course! hehe)

For the background I used the brand new paint from Indigoblu, Lemon Meringue and 

Marshmallow are quiete opaque meanwhile Lime Marmalade is slightly more translucent. The colors all blended together so so well!

The sentiment is another brand new items from Indigoblu, it is an awesome set words that are easily adaptable to any kind of work. Here I simply wanted to use the word "beauty".

I added Kroma Crackle to finish off the backgroud. This products HAS NOTHING to do with all the usual Crackle paint I used so far, infact it leaves a subtle white feeling to it. I loved that it toned down the background. You can see the beautiful crackles in the photo below. To highlight the crackles I added a bit of Lime Marmalade.

And the little girl is from the paper pack Lost Family released this year.

Here's the final ATC.

Stay happy stay creative...till next time!

Ciao Zoey

I Believe in You Card

Hello Everyone!

Zoey here today to show you the last card I made using IndigoBlu products! I had fun playing with the new Cartography Mixed Media Card Stack and Mega Flakes! The card collection is awesome and the Mega Flakes are just the best thing ever! Perfect to add just the right shine to all your projects!

I choose one patterned paper from the Mixed Media Paper Pad 6x6 Cartography and covered the sides with tape and then IndigoBlu Gee-Sso Good - White to tie everything together. I let it dry and mixed in a bit of IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paint Goldfinger and IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paint Postbox Red.

To add some more interest to the background I stamped here and there with StazOn Mini Jet Black and Indigoblu Grand Tour I.

I stamped IndigoBlu Flutterby Dinkie with StazOn Mini Jet Black over a piece of card stock and then I used Indigoblu FlitterGlu to stamp again the IndigoBlu Flutterby Dinkie. I covered it with Indigoblu Mega Flakes Lancashire Rose and removed the excess. LOVE the result!

I stamped the sentiment over another piece of card stock always using StazOn Mini Jet Black and a text from IndigoBlu Boadicea. I love to be able to stretch stamps to get the sentiment I want!

Finally I glued the sentiment, stitched around the sides and attach my background to the card base.
And here's the final result!

Stay happy stay creative, till next time!
Ciao, Zoey
