31 Days of Halloween: Day 16 (Wicked Wednesday ATC/Stitchy Bear Stamps)

Helloooooo!  Welcome to Day 16 of the 31 Days of Halloween!  You should have arrived here from Shoni's blog - if you need to go back and start at the beginning, the blog roll is posted over here on my sidebar------------------------------->

So today I have a little ATC for our new challenge at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Get Goth!

Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Stamps, and this image is called Skull Diva from BBKakes.  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and Prismacolor markers.  I used some spritzes & sprays to create the background, after running my ATC base through a spiderweb embossing folder.  Text is some cardstock stickers from Authentique.  Skull stamp in corner is from Bombshell Stamps.

I'd like to enter this ATC into the following challenges:

Here's my TIP for today:  Don't waste your money on those packages of ATC bases, make your own for free using scraps!  I use all kinds of trash to create my ATC bases - such as the empty boxes that my adhesive comes in (or cracker/cereal boxes, etc.) and the sturdy back page from my paper pads.  Sometimes when you buy paper or something "floppy" the manufacturer will put a sturdy piece of cardstock in the package to keep it rigid - these types of things work great for this.  All I do is mark them up with the proper dimensions (3.5 x 2.5 inches) and cut them using my paper trimmer and I end up with a ready-made pile of ATC bases.  If the cardstock has a pattern or writing on it, I just cover it up using designer paper or Gesso (primer)/paint.

Your next stop on the hop is DominoART.  Have fun hopping!

Peace.
