Freedom to write |
The theme on UKStampers for this ATC swap was Freedom. When I thought about what freedom meant to me it was the freedom to express yourself wherever you live in the world.
I began by inking and embossing the four backgrounds with different stamps from TH.

Backgrounds ready and waiting |
I then stamped the relevant image for each Freedom onto vintage dictionary pages with suitable words: To write (typewriter from Lost and Found); To be (watch and saying from Craft Stamper); To talk (Dotty's head fromDylusions) and to protest (Text and pointy hand from Paper Artsy).

Freedom to Protest |
I added some more distress inks and text for each one and highlighted certain words in red.
|
Freedom to be |
To be ended up with a very thick layer of glossy accents - too much as it almost fell apart.
|
Freedom to talk |
Finally I sprayed some orange chalky glimmer mists and popped them in the post.

The set but the picture is a little blurry and they now in the post... |
The journal page followed the prompt to use numbers (from Julie Kirk) and emboss. The page had one of the experimental transfers on it - this one using a transparency. I added distress inks and the journalling.
I have a collection of Lens Guys beer bottle caps to use one day... I filled them with alcohol inks and glossy accents and then squished them in the Big Shot... A minimal page but I thought the image needed space.
Love your meaningful take on Freedom. Great use of word stamps and dictionary pages.
