Girl Friday: Embossed ATCs

This week, I'm working with the fab Skull Royalty Rubber Stamp.


Here are some super-easy heat embossed images on 3 ATCs:


And here are some close-ups:


Black on White ATC
Heat emboss stamp image with black glitter embossing powder on white cardstock cut to 2.5" x 3.5". (I'm always messy with embossing and don't clean around the image when embossing. I actually like that is adds a grungey effect to the final image.) Use Ranger Inkssentials to adhere metal embellishments.


Gold on Brown ATC
Heat emboss stamp image with gold embossing powder on white cardstock cut to 2.5" x 3.5". Spray on top of image with Tsukineko Walnut Ink Spray. Set four eyelets at each corner. Thread one corner with metal link.


White on Black ATC
Emboss stamp image with white embossing powder on white cardstock. Ink over image with black stamp pad. Adhere black crystal stickers. Adhere metal embellies with Ranger Inkssentials.

Girl Friday Focus: Skull Royalty Tag

Have you visited the QKD Store yet for the fab spankin' new January release stamps? Because if you haven't, I'm telling you, you're missing out on some fab eye candy. One of them being this stamp right here: Skull Royalty Stamp.


Since it's the start of a New Year, I've been trying to decide and focus on my style. And I *think* I've come close to -- if not in defining it -- at least being inspired by what I want to achieve.

My word for 2011: steampunk.

I love steampunk and all its elements: the vintage feel, the cogs and mechanical things, the edgy slightly out-of-the-normal run of things design. (There are some fab steampunk stuff in the store HERE!)

Well, I'm still trying to muster up the courage to dive into my new (read: December-bought) Tim Holtz goodies.

I mustered just enough to courage to cut up a piece of inked Tim Holtz patterned paper for this tag, added the Skull Royalty Tag image colored by decorating chalk and a gold marker, then complemented it with some fab images from this set HERE.


Here's to celebrating our individual styles and what makes us unique and special! Celebrate you!

*hugs*
