Playing in a Challenge

I just love Pinterest!  There is so much inspiration.  I came across a mixed media photo, and it completely inspired me!  When I got the email for Happy Little Stampers January Mixed Media Challenge - well suffice to say, I joined in.

The challenge was to use layers. I accomplished that!  I started with an ink sprayed base, and cut ii into 2 ATC size cards.  I added some embossing paste using stencils, and started adding more layers with a cut doily [colored gold with a pigment ink refill no less!], some designer paper and a couple of Tim Holtz embellishments.  Yep, I got in the layers.  In my blog perusing, I came across a new challenge; Love to Craft, so I am also entering my ATCs in that challenge.



While these are basic ATC's, they really are fun to make!
Thanks HLS for another fun challenge, [and Love to Craft].


Thanks for stopping by~
