The other day I woke up with the idea that I really wanted to make a chunky ATC.
I covered the edges of the wood in black Gesso, cut pieces of smooth card to the right size for all the different sides and then had great fun with texture paste, Distress Stains, Inks and Collage. It took me right back to my long forgotten ATC swapping days, and it certainly took me to my happy creating place without any pressure. So thank you for that Annie!!
Here are some more photos:
Hope everyone is having a good week and thank you for visiting!

Oh to be in your mind first thing in the morning Astrid. This chunky ATC is so cool. The bottle tops are always my fave to do, love the image used. This needs to be on a lazy Suzy so you can swivel around and feast your eyes on it.

Chunky ATCs are my most favourite things ever and you have done the most fantastic job on this one Astrid. Love the texture, the embellishments, all done with your usual amazing style! Hugs, Anne x

The colours, the use of embellishments and certainly that sweetpea of a face inside the bottle cap.
