As you know this month the Altered Pages Design Team is fortunate enough to be co-hosting a month full of fun with IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko combining the wonderful products of both companies into our creations.
For my final project of the month I wanted to share
a fun box full of ATC's which are in fact:
BEACH RULES!
The tin was inked initially with Mellow Mint Opaque StazOn ink to which I applied a layer of GlazOn. I then added Blue Hawaii, Midnight Blue and Spiced Chai StazOn Midi's. The fun group of friends at the beach image is from the collage sheet On The Beach . I added a bit of wadded glassine envelope, micro beads a tiny star fish all adhered using Vintage Creative Medium. When you flip the lid open you'll find the...Beach Rules ATC's! Inside the cover of the tin is an image of a wooden arrow pointing the way to the swimming hole.
But this is also Beach Rule
#1 - Swim Often!
Beach Rules....
#2: Bare Feet are Mandatory
Image - The Water's Fine; Cork; StazOn Midnight Blue, Spiced Chai.
#3: Breath the Salty Air
Tilted Vertigo Film inked with StazOn ink on the back.
Image and sentiment adhered using Clear Creative Medium.
#4: Collect Seashells
Shells colored using Memento Dual Tip Markers,
Sponged LUXE Inks & StazOn Spiced Chai along the edges.
#5 You're Never Too Old to Frolic
Background created using a Monoprint Technique & LUXE Ink.
#6: Soak up the Sun
StazOn Midi's & GlazOn on Sheet Metal ATC,
Image & Sentiment adhered with Clear Creative Medium
#7: Ride the Waves
Rattlesnake Vertigo Film - Image applied to the back using Clear Creative Medium
then inked using StazOn Blue Hawaii Midi & Midnight Blue.
Sentiment glued to front of ATC.
#8: Build Sandcastles
Game Board ATC blank inked with Memento LUXE inks.
The "sand" was created by mixing Vintage Creative Medium with brown micro beads.
#9: Enjoy the Breeze
This ATC was created on a large piece of mica - the image and sentiment were both adhered to the back of the ATC using Clear Creative Medium then inked & stamped with StazOn Midi's ink.
#10: Use the Buddy System
Creative Medium image transfer onto paper. The image was then mounted to a piece of canvas which was colored using Memento LUXE ink. Below is a close up of the Image Transfer - this was made using an ink jet print. It is recommended that you use a toner based image but personally I like the distressed look of the ink jet image better.
#11: Listen to the Waves Roll In
This is a double image transfer using Creative Medium onto a piece of Taffeta Vertigo Film (on the back). The image of the girl on the dock was the first transfer then I transferred inked washi tape for the second image transfer. I rubbed a bit of the second transfer off of the girl image so it didn't detract from that image too much.
and finally Beach Rule
#12 Enjoy the Wild Life!
This image was adhered to a piece of handmade white paper using Vintage Creative Medium. The paper it's self had been coated with a layer of the Vintage CM prior to the image being glued down for a bit of color.
And here they are all together....
I hope you've enjoyed this tin full of
Beach Rules!
