These are my first EVER ATCs and they were so fun to make.  I don't know why I waited so long to give ATCs a try!  Okay so I'm telling a love story with these three ATCs ;D

This is my couple together :D  To create this ATC, I started out by stamping the Circle Frame and then the strolling Skeleton couple.  I colored the inside of the frame with gelatos.  Then I placed a mask over the stamping and embossed the card with the new Fringe stamp.  The embossing powder I used is Lindy's Golden Pumpkin Blush.   After setting the embossing powder, I lightly sprayed some Dylusions ink in After Midnight.  Then I added a layer of clear Distress Crackle paint over the Circle Frame.  I used the spray of roses from the Dia De Los Muertos Hombre stamp set and the banner is from the Milagros set.

These two were really fun to make!!  I started by stamping both of the skeletons on an ATC.

With the cards side by side, I created a heart mask and outlined it with my pen.

Next I embossed around the heart with the Fringe stamp and Pumpkin Blush embossing powder.

I sprayed both cards with Dylusions After Midnight ink.

Then I pulled the mask off and I was ready to start coloring!!

I colored my Dia De Los Muertos Hombre with a combination of paints and Distress markers.

This beauty is from the the Dia De Los Muertos Mujer stamp set.  Well friends, I hope you've enjoyed my little Dia De Los Muertos love story.  Don't forget to check out the October Nesting Components kits!!  Thanks for joining me today & Have a Beautiful day!!!
