Just skidding into this weeks Alpha Challenge by the seat of my pants with my entry for the letter G. Not just one previously uninked stamp from my collection on this atc but two! The background is wrinkle-free distress technique and the gear had all sorts put on it before I reached the stage I was happy with. Basically it's some Distress embossing powder to give it a slightly rough feel painted over with black acrylic ink before applying a couple of coats of Metallic Glaze.

Cool ATC. I like the finger pointing to the gear. Glad you made it in on time.
Was thinking you were going to the wire on this one Maggie :) It is gorgeous,love the colours you have used and the fact that you have managed to use two previously uninked stamps is a great achievement :)

A very original interpretation of the letter G. A really clever card and very suitable for a man's birthday.
