ATC - Visible Image September swap "Rusty"

 Hello,

Today I'm sharing my ATC, and card, for the September ATC swap at Visible Image Facebook group. It finally arrived safely at my swap partner's home in the UK.

The theme for September was

Rusty

and here's what I came up with

This was a really tricky theme, in my opinion. I tried a few different ideas, but nothing worked. In the end I decided to go with a rusty little robot. I stamped and masked of the robot. Then ink blended the background, before removing the stencil I applied some crackle paste and Distress embossing glaze to the brick background. After removing the mask I coloured the robot with markers and added some crackle paste to the screen/ face.

I also created a card to send together with my ATC to my swap parter, this is not mandatory for the swap.
