At our last ATC class we made our ATC's using the 'Metal Tape Technique'. For our Metal Tape Technique we started by covering our mount boards with aluminium foil,that had been backed with wide double sided tape. Our ATC's were then popped into various embossing folders and run through a Big Shot Machine, painted with black acrylic paint, which was then left to dry for a few minutes then rubbed off in places with a baby wipe and finally colourised using alcohol inks. Here are some photos of the results, they all worked out so well.

There are some very good tutorials on You Tube and websites with details of how to do this fun technique here is one You Tube video that I've watched, enjoyed and recommend watching too:-
There's a great photo tutorial over on www.cardmakingparadise.com
I think it's accessible for members only, but but I can certainly recommend joining because it's a brilliant website with loads of great templates, tutorials, and projects which are free, as well as a selection of lovely challenges, swaps, and a friendly forum to join in with too. You can choose from monthly membership or register for a whole year.
