ATC

The challenge at House-Mouse is to make an ATC. I'm cutting it pretty close with time, it ends in a couple of hours! But here it is, with its cute little mouse. :)

I had lots of fun making this! Originally, the purple cardstock did not have the embossed design on it. I stamped a border image from "All about borders" by Inkadinkado over and over in clear VersaMark. Then I put clear embossing powder and in some places clear with glitter ("Diamond Sparkle" by JudiKins), so that all the ink was covered. Then I embossed a couple of times, applying more embossing powder time (it sticks to the still-hot embossed image). The top of the ATC has been embossed more times, that's why the lines are fatter. I love the way it came out. :D

I could not get it to photograph sharply, no idea why.. :/

The string for the balloon is some twine colored with Distress ink, and covered in glue so it's not hairy and sticks well.

Thanks for stopping by!
