Best Friends ATC

This is my ATC design for the Collage Stuff May ATC swap. It's a blue-themed swap. I started out with vintage text covering my ATC base. I painted it lightly with Claudine Helmuth Studio Sky Blue paint. I bought some Perfect Pearls at JoAnn's with a 40% off coupon, so it was time to put them to use. I used the Collage Stuff Stylish Background stamp - stamped it with the Perfect Medium that came with the Perfect Pearls and covered the stamped image with silver Perfect Pearls. It worked! It's hard to see the Perfect Pearls image, but it's there. I overstamped it all with a stamp from the Tim Holtz Urban Tapestry stamp with black ink. The image of the girls is from the Collage Stuff "Color Me Cute" collage sheet. I finger painted the off-white blank raffle ticket with the Studio Sky Blue Paint. I printed the words on a transparency. I used Diamond Glaze to adhere the words. A Maya Road clear jewel flower completes the design. I used a blank ink pad all around of the edges of the ATC to finish it off.
