"Something new" at FwATCs

Another fortnight's challenge at FwATCs has just started and "Something new" has to be used on your ATCs. That could be something new you got as a Christmas present... anyhow: it has to be something you have never used before.

I used my new Sizzix (yippeeh!) with the TH Alterations die "ATC&Corners" and new stamps from the "Sarah's Choice" set from Indigo Blu and Paper Artsy's "ink and the dog" set.



This time I used some heavy artist's paper, because I love the effect of stamping on structured paper (you can very well see it in the film-strip-image: those ink-spared white areas, where normally would be a clean black silhouette).




I used the masking technique for applying the background textures and words. Only the "Dream" quote was stamped over the image and heat embossed with black embossing powder, which I also used for the ATC corners.



I really enjoy going to the movies. Capturing cine films are like dreams that are as close to reality as possible. I admire directors who are able to transform their dreams into mere "realities" and drag viewers right in! Good films do just that - don't they?

Hope to see your ATCs, where you used "Something new" on! Maybe you will be the one to get to take the Top3 blinkie!!

Hugs,

  3. Very cool! Love the ethereal look of the images stamped on the textured paper - they flicker in and out like "the flicks" - fantastic ATC!!
