Weren't those fabulous? I pinned them and have them here for future reference. I'm so impressed with the talent out there in blog land. Aren't you? 

My Manly Monday project is an ATC, which I sort of look at as what could be an embellishment for a scrapbook page, that is if someone doesn't want to trade me for it. I had a horrible packing adventure over Labor Day-See HERE for the story- and this is last ATC to came out of that weekend.

I used THIS background stamp and THIS wheel stamp both by 

I started with a Tim Holtz/Ranger ATC and used a brayer (sp?) for what it was intended. All this time I thought it was for my Cricut mats-best darn mini rolling pin I've ever had-makes the paper stick to a not so sticky mat. 

Anyway, I went over the ATC with Stormy Sky and Broken China then stamped the background stamp using black ink. Let dry because I forgot my heat gun then brushed the edges with a blender that already had blue distress ink on it. Then I stamped the wheel one to white cardstock, fussy cut it out and inked its edges with the blue and then grey blender. I die cut the wing out of black cardstock, inked the edges of the SEI ticket stubs and applied a rub-on to the blue ticket. From there I just assembled it to look as is. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will come again next Monday-well you can come see what I make this week too. I post like everyday, no really every single day I have something to share. 

Best wishes
