One of my favourite ways to make ATCs is to start with a sheet of white A4 card and create a background. Here I got my Messy Mat out on the kitchen table and went to town with spray bottles of Dylusions and Adirondack inks and Cosmic Shimmer and Glimmer Mist mica sprays. The latter and unobliging light made it difficult to get a good photo.
My stamping was with Personal Impressions and Crafty Secrets stamps in archival ink. Each A4 sheet potentially gives 9 ATCs, but as you can imagine each ATC may not turn out to be as pleasing as intended. However, usually some additional stamping or colouring can transform the less successful ones, and that's all part of the fun.

This time the background is made using the pale coloured Distress Stains and Sweet Pea and Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mists. The stamps are Tim Holtz, Crafty Individuals and Artistic Stamper.
Lovely ATCs...thank you for sharing how you created them...the backgrounds are super too!
