King Tut Rules...Ok?

My September ATC swap, over on the Card Making and Paper Craft Forum (that's the posh end, look for their freebie papers) was Vintage and /or Egyptian.(click here for forum end )

Haven't really got anything Vintage, well, I have and I did have a play in My Craft Studio with a few images, but couldn't print them out as I'm still waiting for my ink! So fell back (ouch!) on my old favourite, King Tut, although he might not be King Tut, but he is Egyptian...or doing a very good impression of one!
I've blogged about him before, here and I've also blogged about him here too, so won't add any links about the Valley of the Kings, Tutankhamen, Tut or the Book of the Dead secrets ... oh! okay...just this once!!
Leave the YouTube music on, then come back here to read this... you'll find the post not half so boring!!
I've used some Egyptian papers, (which I've already blogged about ages ago too) Stamped images, some coloured with gel pens (three free with PaperCraft Inspirations mag this month along with other things) and some coloured with just ProMakers and some with ProMakers and the Glitter Gel pens and some with mostly glitter Gel pens. All their faces were done with ProMakers though.
When I was taking these pictures the face finder thingy came on the camera, so I think it's caught the faces quite well. In fact, they I think they actually look better here than they doin real life!
I fixed the Pharaoh on with either 3D foam pads or Pinfare glue. Did a bit of gold embossing and added a few bits and Bob's your uncle! I've made five, only because I can't count, actually I made six, but didn't finished it.
Here's a link to some freebie Egyptian backing papers I found

This week we have two visitors staying with us. My eldest daughter, Emma, her hubby Tom have left their cats with us, while they got off and have fun for a week... Ozzie and Missie. Frog is not amused!
The last time they stayed over was Christmas and they were a lot smaller then! This is Ozzie at Christmas, in Emma's Christmas tree, he climbed up ours too!
And this is Ozzie this afternoon, attacking one of my polar bears and pulling out the laptop wires... as you can see, he's grown quite a lot!!
New Follower! Hello ((wave)) and welcome to Kellh23UK, no link and nothing at all on Google, (oohooo!) but welcome anyway! That's it for now... there was going to be more ATC's but the camera's batteries are flat...Not my day, is it!! See you tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by! (Don't for get to turn YouTube off!)

A Few More King Tut ATC's

Sorry! Gone a bit mad on these Tutankhamun's. This is the second set I've made, promise not to put the third set out until next month!! They are all (but one) spoken for, and I'll post them off A.S.A.P.

Number one: (swapped) I had a go with Shrink Plastic on this one. In the top picture on your right, you can see I've stamped the image with StazOn Jet Black ink on the plastic sheet and then coloured it in using the same gel pens....twelve hours later... and it still hadn't dried!
I'll have another go and experiment with the different pens I have. Anyone know which pens are best let me know!
I've used acrylic paints before but the colour looked really...umm thick and a bit dull...It was a Christmas Card (with Snowy the snowman) and if I can find a picture, I'll post it a bit later. After dabbing the shrunken Pharaoh with a tissue, I cut it out, punched a hole using my Crop-a-Dial and then (the fun part) heated it using my heat gun. Had to chase it round the work top though! Surprisingly, (seeing he lived in a desert) Tut didn't like the heat one little bit! (*note, a fact I found very interesting while researching my 'never ending story', The Sphinx was not worn away by sand, as many people believed, it was worn away by....water!)
Number 2: Above. (swapped) I used my tiny little Woodward Tag punch and a tiny stamped image from a clear stamped set called Habico Clear Stamps, Egypt 1. You get ten in the set. I've just Googled the name and can see they also do, Egypt 2, 3, 4, and 5. I might see if my local, (not really a craft) shop can get me any of the other sets!
Number 3: (swapped) I made a little scroll, using cocktail sticks and beads and stamped on some hand made paper with the third rubber stamp in the wooden set. Added a bit of gold on the beads using a gold pen. I've also gone round the edges using a gold pen. The little shinning dots are peel- offs
Number 4: I used the 'Eye' stamp, from the wooden stamp, set, which came with The Pharaoh and the script stamp. I also gave some of the Tuts gold ear-rings, using the waste dots from the peel-offs.
Number 5: (swapped) I've used another image from the clear stamps set, The Obelisk at Karnak Temple perhaps? I've heat embossed it and mounted it on some black card and fixed it with 3D foam pads.
This half Pharaoh was also coated with some water-base Matt Acrylic Vanish~ for no reason other than to see what it would look like. Made it a little duller, and at one time I thought the gel pens might run! (But I bribed them not to and they didn't!)

Number 6: I did a bit more 3D work behind the Pharaoh, some more stamping with the clear stamps and I added a little handle of gold thread...Don't know why I put that on, but it looked cute and of course, you can hang it up if you want to!
The claw stand they are all sitting on, is in fact a mobile phone holder.
Back here in blog land all looks straight and in line....sort of...(Who said the camera never lies!?)
Let's press 'publish post' and see what happens shall we....
oops! Aw well...never mind! Back tomorrow!! Thank you for stopping by!!
