Summer ATC

 On ArtVentures Group, the theme for ATCs is "Summer". I think of the short time we have for fun in the sun, so we need to "dive in" to enjoy the great weather and play in the sun!
First I used the dtp (direct to paper) application of different shades of yellow Distress Inks to card stock and heat set to stop of blending of colors.







Next, sponged on honey dye ink over a stencil, then stamped a sun image in orange Distress Ink, then heat set.

Used some paper that had excess blue paints and inks on it. Then stenciled on different shades of blue Distress Inks over different stencils on different ends of the paper.

 Tore the blue paper into strips and added some stamped images with darker blue Distress ink.

Added a vintage image of a swimmer; stamped words with black Archival Ink.
