Good evening and welcome. Just getting in a bit of midnight crafting. Over at PaperArtsy Darcy has been wowing us with a vast array of projects. Where does she find the ideas and the time? Time is something I never seem to have enough of. Anyway, I'm starting small with an idea inspired by this post Do check out the denim journal Darcy makes. I have been inspired by her tags. It's been a while since I made a tag and it will be a bit longer because I decided on an ATC. Ha ha......
I have used PaperArtsy metal card. This is a layer of metal bonded onto card. I have embossed metal sheets before but there is the danger of splitting the metal. This metal card is a dream to work with. I cut using my Sizzix ATC die and then embossed with Spellbinders Sea Beauty. I coloured with PaperArtsy Inky Pool and then added Limelight to the ferny bits.
The tape is my own made washi-style tape. Check this post. Another Darcy inspired make! Then I stamped SM30 and coloured with Limelight and some yellow chalk.

i had never been a fan of mirror/metal card before, but since trying the PA card I am a convert, it takes paint and ink so well. Love your ATC.
