ATC Color Swap

I joined an ATC Color Swap from the SIS site. I had heard about ATCs and was interested in finally trying to make one.

So here is my first attempt at making an ATC. I needed to use blue as my predominant color.

The image is from the Beaded Bodice Stampendous stamp from the Couture Collection. The was stamped and embossed using the Tim Holtz Black Distress Embossing powder. I colored in the flowers and leaves with Lumiere Metalic Acrylics by Jacquard and then went over the colored areas with Glossy Accents. I added some bling with stickles on the dots and then one big bling. I stamped the words fro a Tim Holtz stamp and cut the words apart, inked them and adhered them on top of the fiber with foam tape to give it more dimension.

Here is the back of the ATC. I stamped my initials with the Stampin Up Wild West Alphabet.
The "be different" saying is a stamp from Limited Edition.
