Any Fin is possible...

The ATC UK swap group that I belong to has just announced that the current theme is

 'Easel ATC cards'

so I thought I would have a go at making some...

As I had lots of scraps on my worktable from previous projects I thought I would again use the colour scheme  "Terracotta and Turquoise"

and also use real rubber stamps so that I could link today's ATCs to the

 Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Challenge # 98

I made two ATCs...

For each one, I started by making a base with a 7 by 2.5 inch piece of terracotta cardstock, scoring at 1.75" and 3.5" along the 7" side. I also needed a normal piece of card 2.5 by 3.5 to make the ATC part.

To each base and ATC I added scraps from crafterschoice Minerals 12 by 12 paper pad.

I wanted to use a piece of 'Brushos through a stencil' background on the ATCs - and tried to emboss directly in black with a number of fish-y stamps (unbranded) on this.

I was not too happy with the result embossing this seahorse - so all the rest of the elements I embossed on some of the terracotta cardstock and cut them out.

I put the shells on dimensionals to make the stands to keep the easels in place.

And - although these are not mermaids - Any Fin is possible - so I am going to add them to 

 LeighSB Designs MerMay Blog Hop - Day 14.
