Simon Says: ATC's on the Monday Challenge

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

We also have a special challenge for children between the ages of 2 and 16! CLICK HERE or on the logo to go directly to the challenge page

This week we are challenging you to
Make An Artist Trading Card 
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5".

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Don't forget to pop by to see what Simona and the rest of the DT have made, awesome eye candy!! ;-)

I made a set of ATC's using a selection of the new Tim Holtz  Distress Oxide Inks and a new Simon Says Stamp 'You're A Star' Craft Die

I started by pieces of watercolour paper into Salty Ocean, Black Soot and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink and when they were dry I sewed around the edges.

next came the fiddly bits. I die cut the 'You're A Star' out of the middle. I then used a Falling Star Stencil, white embossing paste and a sprinkling of glitter over the top

I then die cut again using black yardstick and popped all of the pieces in. I made 12 of these so after about 5 I was wishing that I had just glued the sentiment onto the top ;-)

I used silver and white glitter for the stars, very sparkly irl ;-)

and I added a few silver star sequins 

Thanks for looking! I hope you will all join in and have as much fun as we did making these little arty miniatures :-)
