The Magical Forest - a set of ATCs

Описание: A step by step styled process video showing me create a set of ATCs. I make four cards with a forest theme. I call the set "The magical forest".

I start the set by making a collage sheet for the bases. I use scraps from my stash. They are from previous projects. I collage the pieces on top of another cardstock piece using Collage medium. After letting the sheet dry I cut the bases using a die and then emboss the pieces using an embossing folder. I add some ink around the edges and also to the raised pattern. I also ink around the edges of the cluster elements - some die cut leaves and stickers. I mounted the stickers on top of cardstock and cut them out. The other leaves are die cut out of a scrap piece and another I just painted green using an acrylic paint. I use the same paint to paint some molded lightbulbs. After letting the paint dry on the dimensional embellishments, I add some copper toned wax to them. I use the same wax to color some chipboard gears and also add touches to the cards themselves. I then make the compositions to each card using the different elements and glue those in place using craft glue. As a finishing touch I add a text sticker to each card as well as some rhinestone stickers.

Thank you for watching!
