My First ATC!!

       Hi everyone, I thought I would share my very first ATC card I made for my ATC swap over at myscraproom.ning.com.  It was a Halloween themed ATC and this is what I came up with.  This was really fun.  I had one miss up but I compensated with something else and I love how it looks.  Check it out.

      I cut out a chipboard base with my new ATC sizzix die.  I painted the chipboard with cream acrylic paint then used the crackle medium.  Painted it again with Black acrylic paint so, i could get an aged crackle effect.  I had a dollar stamp that had the door and saying "Enter if you Dare".  I embossed both images with black detailed embossing powder.  I embosed the door on thick vellum and the saying on vanilla cardstock.  I cut out the saying with my deckle scissors.  Then I distressed the saying with dusty concord, peeled paint and black soot distress ink from Tim Holtz.  I use a tiny brad for the door handle.  I stuck the cob webs and spiders with glossy accents.  I used a skeleton rub-on for inside the door.  I just thought this came out really cute but scary... bwahahahahah!!!  Let me know what you all think.  So, check us out at myscraproom.ning.com for other wonderful swaps.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hugs, Friday
