ATCs Embellishment - Flowers

Cleaning away a few things the other day I found my set of ATCs and remembered I never posted the finished ones. I made four different types and here is the first – flowers.

A paper flower from the scrapbooking isle; a bit too dull colourwise for my liking, so I added bright orange ink

and a little gold ink around the edges and some black lines

finding that there is such a thing as too much gold so easing up on the gold for the next flowers

stitching the flowers and orange binder-clip-leaves to the readymade ATC base with black thread (just take care not stitching ON the clip)

adding gel medium and a button

and the flower is done.

Same flower, different cards.
