Mermaid Gate

This ATC was created using 3 separate stamp designs by Lost Coast Designs, using the masking technique.

This process allows you to create overlapping images where you stamp the items closest to the foreground first and then mask off each successive image before stamping the next image until you reach your furthest background image last.

(I stamped a masks for the winged mermaid and the gateway using Eclipse Masking Tape and trimmed them close to stamped edges)

 

To create this ATC; I first stamped the winged mermaid from the Mini Flying Ladies Set.

Once the ink had dried on the mermaid I masked it off and then stamped the gateway.

The gateway was then masked off and the script text was stamped in the background.

I removed the masks and colored the ATC with a combination of pastel pencils, decorative chalk and markers.

 

All stamps by Lost Coast Designs – masking medium was Eclipse Masking Tape - stamping ink was Versafine in Onyx Black

Lost Coast designs stamps used: Mini flying Ladies Set – ATC Shrines – Word Backgrounds for ATC’s Set 1
