ATC Tutorial - Foam, Gesso and Vintage Images

Due to time constraints, I am still unable to run an ATC class but I have decided to release this tutorial so that you all can try this ATC. I normally like to use thin chipboard for making ATCs but that is not neccessary. You can always use a cardstock or any patterned paper.

Here are the steps to making this ATC:

Firstly,  gather your materials.  I have a foam heart,  an image and a thin chipboard measuring 3 1/3 by 2/12 inch.  That is a standard size for ATCs.

Place the foam heart where you desire.

Add gesso to the whole chipboard ATC including the foam heart.

The reason why we do that would be to mask the original colour of the heart.

Paint on an acrylic colour that you like.

I have used a script stamp to create a background and stuck the image on by using some modge podge.  

Hope you will like this simple ATC tutorial and will try it soon.  Please do not hesitate to send us via email any photos of the tutorials that you have tried in our blog.  We would definitely be most happy to post your beautiful creations in our blog.
