Heres an ATC for the challenge at SaWo which is "Crazy Background" and also for the challenge at Crazy Amigos which is "Tim Holtz"
I thought it would be fun to use an invoice from The Artistic Stamper to put my background on so I scrunched it up and scuffed it with Rangers Distress ink and then sprayed it with water. I added some drops of gold alchohol ink and then ironed the paper flat. (one of Tim Holtz techniques on his DVD)
I cut a piece of my paper for the ATC and put it onto cardstock and edged it with gold dabber. As the invoice had been for T.H. ideology masks I used one of the masks to make borders with a gold dabber.
The invoice printing (The Artistic Stamper) was showing through so I thought I'd do some stamping and colour it.
Thanks for looking !

your background is amazing! love the results of it. thank you for the kind comments about the altered pieces - it's taken over two weeks to get my things *somewhat* into place. I know that this area will be better to create in, but it is hard getting used to where my supplies are located! Have a Happy Easter! :)
The both of your Fossils are fabulous.
I say this on Jennie's blog, it's fabulous!
