Ink Stains: New Challenge - ATC's

Welcome my friends...it's been a while since I've played with ATC's and I don't know why I was waiting but I'm so glad that the current challenge at Lost Coast Designs prompted me to play with them again!

The challenge is #94 - Artist Trading Cards or Coins and this is what I have created to kick off the challenge.

The men are two of the most recent stamps released from Carmen's Veranda, aren't they dashing? You can find Sherlock and Einstein here along with his pal the Joker.

I made the Sherlock ATC by adhering a piece of a vintage ledger page onto an ATC blank. I flicked on red watercolor paint for fake blood then stamped Sherlock. I grunged it up a bit with some smudged fingerprints (my own) then stamped the measuring tape and grunge black swirl here and there on the card. I added the word Curiosity just because I can't seem to not add some sort of text to my ATC's - LOL!!

Einstein was made by affixing an old Latin book page onto a crooked playing card I had in my stash. I then stamped him in Paradise Blue VersaFine Clair ink. I used a fun circle stencil to add the little green dots and stamped the word wisdom in red. I added a little white gel pen to the green dots to make them stand out a bit more.

This challenge runs until the 14th so you've got plenty of time to join in on the fun! Simply make an ATCard or ATCoin and enter it for your chance to win!
