This ATC is titled "Summer in the Swamp."
Faux Silk Background: tissue paper brayered with Pumpkin Patch spectrum pad, dried, crumpled, smoothed out a bit, and stick-glued to Apricot Appeal cardstock. Because it was difficult to achieve graduated lines with brayer on tissue paper, base cardstock was brayered as above prior to tissue being adhered. This helped achieve blended look.
Faux Silk Cattails: stamp was colored prior to stamping on tissue and backed on Apricot Appeal.
Martha Stewart Flocking Powder, in chestnut, makes cattails "furry." Flower Soft, in Nut Brown, accents bottom edge of ATC for "swampy" feel.
Sun: Apricot Appeal ink on Whisper White cardstock, heat embossed with Iridescent Ice to try to capture the white-hot heat of the Miami summer sun. Punched circle and dimensional center accent.
Other embellishment: google eye on croc.
