black magic ATC's & vintage tags...

photos taken at my2angels class by Tracy Keilty

Here are my takes on the 2 swaps I'm participating in this month.  

 First up the 'vintage' tags for the Scrap With Us Scrapping Group - I'm glad the theme was not more specific coz I thought it was about time I created something not so feminine - just for a change ;)
For the backgrounds on the tags and the ATC's I've been inspired to use techniques taught by the amazing talented Tracy Kielty in last week's card class at my2angels - oh what messy fun we had too ;)

 For these tags I used the same method as in the cards...'splotches' of Tim Holtz Distress Stains and a 'circle' of Distress paint. You may even notice the Graphite Ferro that I love the most as its the messiest - and I reckon it makes the cogs look like tyres or steering wheels - don't you agree?

Supplies used:
Inkssentials Craft tags; Kraft card stock; Feature Art (Golden Memories) pps; Viva Ferro (graphite); Tim Holts Distress Paint (bundles sage) and Distress Stain (rusty hinge, frayed burlap, vintage photo, antique bronze); stash cogs (wood, chipboard & metal); Helmar adhesives.

Black Magic ATC's

 These are my ATC's for the Ideal ATC Swap group October/November "Black Magic" theme. We weren't obliged to crate a 'Halloween" ATC- so long as the ATC was predominantly black and orange...for the background I've used the same technique as the "MAN" on the card in the first photo.

 I just covered the ATC with black Stazon ink and PVA glue, then heat set it. Again what a fun sticky mess that was!!!

The moon and the pumpkin charms, naturally are from (2 different) my2angels kits :)

Supplies Used:
Inkssentials black ATC cards; Fancy Pants (Trick or Treat) fussy cut pps and stickers; my2angels charms; Perfect pearls mists (mandarin); orange embossing powder; Scrapping Outback Stazon & VersaMark inks; onion bag net; Boo! ribbon; Craft Smart PVA glue; Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive.

 That's it for today...Thanks so much for popping over...take care; hearts 'n' hugs xxx Mazz xxx
