60 and Sparkling - Visible Image ATC Swap - May 2026
’60 and Sparkling’ is the theme for the May 2026 ATC swap over on the Visible Image Facebook page. Although I’ve not participated in all 60 I’ve really enjoyed creating these small pieces of art. Any I receive are treasured too and stored in a ‘Vault’ for safe keeping. For my makes this month I’ve chosen the fabulous ‘Daisy Days’, ‘Best Birthday Ever’ and ‘Spiralling’ stamp sets from Visible Image.
To start, I took an ATC sized piece of white card and sprayed it with ‘Salvaged Patina’, ‘Tumbled Glass’ and ‘Kitsch Flamingo’ distress spray stains. After this had dried I layered up the numbers from the ‘Spiralling’ stamp set and ‘Celebrate’ from the ‘Best Birthday Ever’ set using Versafine Clair ‘Bali Blue’ and ‘Charming Pink’ (2nd gen) inks. The main ‘Spiralling’ image was then stamped onto the background using Versamark and heat embossed with Wow Sparkling Snowflake embossing powder. This was repeated for the bubbles from the ‘Daisy Days’ stamp set.
The focal floral image from ‘Daisy Days’ was stamped onto black card using Versamark before heat embossing with Wow superfine opaque bright white embossing powder. This was repeated for the ‘60’ numbers from the ‘Spiralling’ stamp set. All were fussy cut out.
Finally, the daisy and ‘60’ were added to the ATC using some 3D mounts and acrylic glue. White ink and ‘Salvaged Patina’ and ‘Kitsch Flamingo’ distress spritz spray add a little further sparkly interest to the ATC.
I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge this month. Thanks to Jane Tyrrell for another brilliant ATC swap and I can’t wait till the next one.
Card
To start, I took a piece of white card and sprayed it with ‘Salvaged Patina’, ‘Tumbled Glass’ and ‘Kitsch Flamingo’ distress spray stains. After this had dried I stamped the numbers from the ‘Spiralling’ stamp set and ‘Celebrate’ from the ‘Best Birthday Ever’ set using Versafine Clair ‘Bali Blue’ and ‘Charming Pink’ (2nd gen) inks. The main ‘Spiralling’ image was then stamped onto the background using Versamark and heat embossed with Wow Sparkling Snowflake embossing powder. This was repeated for the bubbles from the ‘Daisy Days’ stamp set.
The daisy from ‘Daisy Days’ was stamped twice onto black card using Versamark before heat embossing with Wow superfine opaque bright white embossing powder. The sentiment was stamped onto white card using Versafine Clair ‘Nocturne’ black ink before being heat embossed with Wow superfine clear gloss embossing powder. Both were then fussy cut out.
Finally, the daisy and sentiment were added to the ATC using some 3D mounts and acrylic glue. White ink and ‘Salvaged Patina’ and ‘Kitsch Flamingo’ distress spritz spray & a few gems finish off the card.
