Green with Envy

Good Morning my follower crafters,  today I am up on the Gecko Galz' blog sharing another ATC I made for our fantastic February Challenge.  There is still plenty of time to join in if you dare!!!

Here is the finished Card.


The supplies you will need are as follows:
  1. Image from the Gecko Galz Visions in Green Digital Image Sheet
  2. Base card 
  3. patterned paper from my stash
  4. ranger distress in Black Soot 
  5. Wink of Stella in Clear
  6. flower, mardi gras masks, sequins, mardi gras mask charm and jeweled flower from my stash. 
The steps are as follows:
 1. Cut out your base ATC Card to the appropriate size.  If you are unfamiliar with ATC Cards, you can go here to see what all the hype is about.  As you base card don't forget you can use old playing cards, recycled cereal or other types of food packaging boxes.  You can also use the packaging cardboard from your scrapbook supplies.  These make a good heavy weight for your cards.  You can either round your edges like I did or leave them square.


2.  Cover the front of your card with a patterned paper of your choice.  I found a nice green swirly paper in my stash but you could use this if you don't have anything in your stash. Don't forget to put a complimentary solid piece of paper on the back so you can add your information. 


The easiest way to adhere your paper to your base is to use a sticker maker.  Once your papers are adhered to your base you can move on to step 3. 

3.  The next thing I did was to fussy cut my image from the Visions In Green digital image sheet by Gecko Galz.


 

After fussy cutting my image I inked the edges with black soot using a ranger foam applicator. 
I then added fun foam to the back of my image so that it would be pooped up.  


4.  I then adhered the hologram mardi gras masks that I had in my stash on top of the patterned paper



5.  I added my image on top of the masks and then added my embellishments.  I finished off by adding a touch of Wink of Stella clear to the flower and fur trim on the image.  I think it added such an elegant pop!!! 


Here is the finished ATC Card again.  


That's it, simple as 1,2,3.  Hope you will join us in playing along with our other customers and friends.  Tick Tock, Tick Tock, the clock is ticking.  You only have 4 days left!!! 

Happy Crafting!!!
