I do hope this picture will inspire you to enter the challenge
I started by making some faux wood effect paper - scoring textured card at random intervals, adding glue to the score bumps, smearing on distress ink (weathered wood).
I added rectangles of this to Kraft card blanks and then embellished them....

A Year of ATCs? - Day 332
This is my Day 332 of 'My Year of ATCs?'
I have been looking through old (commercial) cards for upcycling - the backs are brilliant for embossing as they are such quality card - but there are often sentiments/embellishments/images that can be useful, to use on cards or as tags...
I found a snowman card designed by a young friend, Amelia, and decided to use it on today's ATC.

I have used this for the Challenge - but your image is free choice -
I added part of a doiley to a white card base then added the image, coloured with Zig real brush pens and die cut with a nesting die. I added faux stitching with a fineliner.
The sentiment is a stamp from Happy Little Stampers again cut out with an arched die and faux stitched.

Happy Little Stampers Video using Brushos and Stencils
Today I have a brand new video tutorial using the
Happy Little Stampers 'Christmas Joy' stamp set.
I wanted to show you how to make a card on which one of the the main features is a stamp from this set.
I am also using Brushos and embossing through stencils
The leaf stencil is from Craftstash;
the stag stencil is from funky fossil
I also made an ATC in the same style for Day 327 of 'My Year of ATCs?'
