I love designing unique and original art that I can embellish with various altered game tiles. The focal point of this ATC is the altered Doublecross domino. I used rubber stamps from the Blockheads Roman architecture collection.

First I stained the ATC card with Distress Ink Weathered Wood and then stamped the floral stone carved background in Indigo Ancient Page dye ink and then edged it with a silver metallic paint pen. On a piece of off-white cardstock I stamped a portion of the stamp that has the goddess in black Ancient Page and tore the edges for an uneven, chipped stone look. Next I unevenly edged the torn edges in silver too. Then I stained the Doublecross domino with Stone Grey Ancient Page dye ink and stamped the image of the goddess in black AP. After heat setting I coloured portions of the image with Adirondack Slate and Stream and edged the domino with the silver paint pen and coloured the sides too. Then I sealed the domino with a matte sealer. I then adhered the domino to the torn panel with double-sided tape and then attached them to the ATC card. I printed the text with a Dymo label buddy and adhered them to the ATC. I then embellished the domino with the 3 opal tear drop jewels.
