Hi all Heather here today. I want to share a mixed media layout I made for Swirlydoos Kit Club using elements from the Main kit "Spring Grunge" along with goodies from the Add-On kits.

I made a video of the creative process , I hope you enjoy!

Along with a number of background techniques I did some simple layering and focused more on the picture. This is of Olivia on an old ship sailing through the harbor in Oslo Norway. I just happened to be a gorgeous day and the weather was perfect for a sail in the harbor.

Enjoy the close-ups.

Thank you for stopping buy today!

Spring Grunge ATC's By Heather Thompson

Hi all. I want to share a set of ATC's made with Swirlydoos May Kit "Spring Grunge". This kit has so much fun stuff in it. So many possibilities with it.

Along with a short video tutorial on my creative process, I have some close ups of the Cards. These ATC's can be so addicting to make.

Insert Video here.

   

The fun part is you can make as many as you want and they all can be different.

And by just adding some small element from my stash I have these fun ATC's with some mixed media techniques.

I added paste from the Project kit and added it to the stencil. I used plain gesso, and dabbed through another stencil to get the pops of white.

Using the Inkgold from the mediums kit, I highlighted the metal portions of the cards to make them shine more.

I hope you enjoyed and if you haven't played around making some ATC's I highly recommend it. I have slowly expand my collection of ATC's from fellow artists around the world.

Today I am sharing an altered tag I made based of the sketch challenge at Swirlydoos Kit Club. The altered tag kit has these tags from Tim Holtz and they are big. A canvas in it's self.  I choose to make this one a wall hanging with some pictures of the kids on there.

   

 Based loosely off the sketch challenge.

 

Here is a video tutorial of the creative process:

I added lots of background details with many of the supplies that came in the various kits that are available. Including the stencils and pastes. 

   

 I love the texture that comes from the Ferro and to highlight with the various waxes and mediums that are available just make any piece stand out.

    

 This kit has so much to work with,  I cant wait to see what your take on the challenge is.    Don't forget to load it in the Swirlydoos Kit Club Scrapbook Gallery
