Good Friends ATC's for A Vintage Journey


It is ATC time at A Vintage Journey! Our latest challenge chosen by Alison is


A Little Bit of Tim


We are looking for Vintage and Tim Holtz style ATCs - a 
single ATC or a set, perhaps even a trio that match. 

And please only ATCs - no ATBs or Chunky ATCs allowed!




I decided on a "whimsical" trio using the famous trio stamp from the Steampunk Set. I always refer to them as the friends and thought it would be fun to combine them with the good friends quote from Ways with Words.



I created the backgrounds first - wrinkle free distress using Evergreen Bough, Aged Mahogany and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks. I used Black Arcival for the background stamping and then Wendy Vecchi Crackle Paste through the Harlequin mask.



Each ATC is decorated with similar embellishments - cogs covered with Aged Mahogany Distress Powder, little stamps and letter strips from the Destinations Paper Stack, Tim Holtz Pen Nibs and Film Strip Ribbon.



It is quite amazing how much you can squeeze into such a small space!



And a little bright flower from the Tattered Floral Garland.



The whimsical three!

I do hope you will join us in our challenge, just tell us in your blog post what Tim product or technique you are using. And do hop on over to A Vintage Journey to see my other DT teams fabulous ATC makes. 

Thank you for joining me today and have a lovely weekend.

Jennie - this trio of ATCs are so fun. I love the added crackle texture to the harlequin stamp. I think I have most of these stamps also - some of my favs. :)

I think it is so clever how you used these guys separately, yet together. Great color and quote.
