Stampman ATC Swap - The Look

Another month, another Stampman ATC swap. This month's theme is THE LOOK. I just had to use this stamp of my mum as a young girl, I think it fits the theme perfectly. I inked up an ATC, stamped the image in black, then added the words and covered the whole thing in 2 layers of clear UTEE, it makes the colours so much more vibrant. I used a similar technique on one of the other 2 ATC's in this set, again the pictures wouldnt upload the right way up, I think this is a serious problem with the blogger software and needs to be addressed. Why cant they just add a 'rotate' function, after the pictures are uploaded you can rotate them whichever way. It would make such a difference.

I have also received my TIME Atc's from last month's swap, it's great getting little pieces of art in the mail, always makes my day!

  3. this is a great ATC. Love the image. I too have had problems uploading. I wound up changing my images from Jpeg and that made the orientation stay. blogger just seems to have a mind of its own and is very inconsistant. thanks for sharing and have a great day. Angela
