Woman of Mystery

The theme for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "an ATC".  I used to make a lot of ATCs back in the day, and still have a binder full of beautiful ATCs that I've received in swaps.  It's quite some time since I last made one, and it was an interesting challenge to restrict myself to a 2.5 x 3.5 inch project again!

The background was spritzed with water and then Distress Stains were applied (Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw and Forest Moss).  I punched a circle out of white card and fixed it in place as the moon, then stamped the tree.  The Mona Lisa was stamped separately and coloured, then the tree was stamped over her face before fixing her in position on the ATC.  The bandana was coloured, stamped and outlined in white pen.  Finally the text was printed on the computer and fixed in place.

Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)
