Make your own Washi Tape ATC

The theme for 9ATC Group is to Make your own Washi Tape (directions below). My homemade Washi tape is the strip in the middle. For the ATC, I adhered the homemade tape with two strips of black decorative washi tape on each side onto some decorative background paper. Added decorative stickers and adhered a charm with black thread. This was layered onto black card stock.

To make the Washi tape, I pressed it onto a book page and pressed down before lifting it off the page.

Next, wiped the top of the masking tape with a baby wipe to ready the surface for stamping.

Used black StazOn ink with a collage type stamp on the masking tape and let it dry.

 

Grid or Squares ATC

 The theme for the 9ATC Group is Grid or Squares.

I cut 1" squares out of background paper. Stamped butterflies on 3 of the squares and added paper butterflies with words stamped on them to the other 3 squares. Adhered the squares to brown car stock that had French script stamped onto it with dark brown dye ink. Added 3 square blue brads.

Adventure ATC

The theme for 9ATC Group is Adventure. I stamped black glossy card stock with a variegated circles using silver StazOn ink for the background. Stamped a moon image with the silver StazOn ink on another piece of black glossy card stock and cut it out to adhere on to the background. Stamped and colored an image of a girl on white card stock, cut it out and added it to the ATC, along with some small butterflies made by punching them our of some old background paper.

 

Transparency ATC

The theme for the 9 ATC Group is Transparency. I stamped a cut transparency sheet with a background stamp using Azure StazOn ink. Placed an extra transparency sheet behind it for stability and taped the edges with decorative washi tape. Used a die cut to cut a butterfly sheet out of a transparency sheet, the ran the butterfly through two different embossing folders that had been inked with black stain ink. Taped the butterfly to the ATC, added the same washi tape to the body of the butterfly and added a clear black rhinestone. View of the ATC held against the sky outside:

Under the Sea ATC

The theme for the 9ATC Group is Under the Sea. I inked some card stock with tumbled glass Distress Ink and broken china Distress Oxide and heat set. Then stamped wavy lines with "bubbles" with peacock feathers Distress Ink and heat set.

Hand drew some tentacles and wrote "deep dark dangerous" and "mysterious creatures" with a thin black sharpie. Colored in the tentacles with dye ink marker.

Covered the ATC with a net fabric with silver glitter circles to finish the ATC.

 

Stencil ATC

The theme for the 9ATC Group is Stencils

I cut a worksheet into ATC sized pieces

Used a striped stencil over the background and applied a white Distress Paint and let it dry.

Placed a dotted stencil over the background and applied a bronze Distress Paint and let it dry. Then inked the edges with walnut stain Distress ink.

Cut out heart shapes of some old background, placed a burlap stencil and applied walnut stain Distress Ink.

Stamped a flourish with black StazOn ink then inked the edges with a dark brown memento ink.

Used a die to cut out key holes from textured black card stock and keys from bronze colored card stock. Inked the key holes with bronze Encore! ink. Placed the keys in an embossing folder to create texture then inked with the walnut stain Distress ink.

Used two different wash tapes over the top and bottom of the ATC before adhering  the heart, key and keyhole elements.
