Show & Tell – Christmas ATC houses
I finally finished up my cards for the Christmas house ATC swap. I really like the ATC house template there’s a lot of creative things you can do with it.
For these cards I traced a house template onto the back of patterned paper and cut out. Next I stamped the Italian script onto the patterned paper with black ink. Then I cut out the roof pieces and scalloped with a border bunch. All the roof scallops were spritzed with Glimmer Mist and then chalked with brown around the edges. The chalking on the scallops is a tiny detail but I think it adds to the piece and makes for a cleaner look. The base piece of the roof has a couple of dimensional pop-up dots under it. The girl and boy image are from a vintage Russian postcard. I re-sized the image in Photoshop Elements, printed them and cut out the images. For the chimney I used a phone book page. I like using phone book pages on my ATCs. I tied a piece of vintage craft string onto the embellishment and adhered everything including the papers with Zip Dry. BTW, I love Zip Dry it didn’t bubble on the papers!!
