Distressing
I decided to have a go at a chunky ATC, and, after a bit of a sand down, this is how it ended up (grab a cuppa, there are 5 sides to this, lol).
I painted it all over with an acrylic paint dabber (a few coats) in Pebble and overstamped with a crackle stamp. All of the CI images, apart from the one on the back, were stamped onto inked Tando inchies and fnished with a Krylon pen and distress stickles. Some fabric twill tape was dyed with Distress Stain in Aged Mahogony (my new favourite colour :-)) and adhered around the bottom.
The front: I gave it a couple of coats of Shell Pink through a brickwork mask to create a "wall" then another light sand down to rough it up a bit. Some "grafitti" stamped on the wall with a Snow Cap paint dabber and inked and torn paper added, along with some embellishments. The wooden dress form has also been painted with an acrylic paint dabber then overstamped with a Darkroom Door Damask background stamp, then covered in Distress Crackle in Rock Candy and finished with a gold Krylon pen.

The Sides: These were covered with some scraps of inked dp left over from another project and a CI image added to each side (stamped on Tando inchie) and a little Aged Gold embossing enamel.
The Back: A CI image was stamped onto a scrap of dp, a piece of mica tile placed over it, then an alcohol inked metal frame added over the top, with some embellishments added.

The Top: This was covered in tissue tape and inked. The Grungeboard letters were coloured with Aged Mahogony Distress Stain then covered in Distress Crackle in Rock Candy and a few inked roses added.

On the bottom, I used a wooden cotton reel which I stained then a little Rub n Buff added, and adhered to the base as a stand.
