Best of British

I went to see the girls on Thursday at Scrap Club (@ITC) after a difficult day planning a funeral and generally being depressed, for a bit of a natter and nose on what everyone else was doing.

Having got there, I got itchy and had to have something to play with, so Nina gave me some of the new 'Past Times' ATC card, specially designed for Its Crafting Time.

I got really inspired, and borrowed glue and scissors and ink from everyone around me (aren't crafters lovely people!)

These 4 ATC's are made entirely from the Past Times papers with a little stamping using Artemio 'Tea Time' stamps.

It was so nice to work with stuff so obviously produced for the British market and having such a limited supply of craft stuff made me really think about what to do.
Other than the papers and the stamping, the only other added interest is that I have heat embossed some of the fragments several times.

This photo gives a much better shot of the base image of a smiling young serviceman. I have simply stamped over it with clear ink and then embossed it several times until I could get it to crack.

The coloured inks are Memento bahamas blue and lady bug.
