This ATC opens up into a Fairy Shrine and then closed back down into a traditional 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 ATC size for easy storage. I used Whimsical � Take Flight and Architecture stamp sets by Blockhead Rubber Stamp for this project.

Occasionally I like to have lots of layers or movement in my ATC�s and I created this one to have both. This ATC Shrine was made using various decorative papers, transparency film, gold webbing spray, gold leafing pen and a shrine die cut I had in my stash of fun stuff to play with. I started with a shrine template I had on hand which I covered with decorative paper and sprayed with gold webbing. I then outlined all the edges with a gold leafing pen. Next I stamped The Iron gate pattern from the Architecture stamp set twice on transparency film and twice on a decorative green paper. I used a 1 1/4 inch circle punch to punch out the 4 decorative circles from the stamped transparencies and attached them using spray adhesive to circles I punched out of 2 different decorative papers so the inner doors and outer doors would be slightly different once assembled. (The same process was done to create the smaller circle that appears in the apex of the shrine). I then trimmed the 2 gates that were stamped on the decorative green paper close to the stamped outline and attached the transparency circles on each panel. I cut each of these gates in half and attached them to the front and back of the shrine doors. Next I stamped the fairy on decorative paper, assembled all the components onto a thick black ATC and edged it with a gold leafing pen.
