Discovery ATC

I have created this ATC out of inspiration from the card that I just made for a sick work colleague.  I was blog surfing when I was uploading the card, (you know how it is when you have to do more than one thing at a time) LOL I saw this challenge for Simon Says Stamp Challendge Blog, and it was either a tag or an ATC using some of Tim Holtz products, well what had I just done?  Doh LOL I had used the embossing folder inked with distress inks before embossing and  used the brackets die cut and I had pieces left over.  Wow, I was half way therre and I hate waste and what the heck, use some bits up and emboss some more, fiddle a bit, play, ink and I am nearly there..... wonderful.  So I was in the process of making 2 because I had the bits and well I can always give them away. 



I really do have to give thanks to a few friends that have encouraged me to get on with it and not let other nasties bother me, my new installed confidence created this is a flash.  Thanks friends you know who you are.  Oh and it does help when I have slept all day to recover and had a Saturday night off from working. 











Tim’s products used -
Alterations Texture Fades, Pocket Watches Embossing Folder & Alterations Plaque & Postage die cut, cut the strips from it for the top and bottom silver strips.  One ATC has the positive and the other the negative, I said before I don't like waste LOL. 

Happy Crafting Eliza
