Found text ATCS

This was a really hard exercise to do.ATCs are small so to find a good piece of text to use was very difficult.Also the print was small so i had a problem being able to read it.I covered the text first with diamond glaze before painting over the text which I had discarded with paint.

Then I had to make them look like ATCs with decoration stamping and embellishments.

On the whole I was quite pleased with them but they took hours to make.

I made this using the dished side.I filled it with melted opals and added the fantasy film pressing well in.After cooling I trimmed it off and added another layer of opals.I used versamark each time so it wouldnt blow away when heated.

It was a bit fiddly but looks quite effective

This was on the subject of Art and I had just purchased a fabulous set of stamps called Da vinci pears.The background was lumieres at first but I thought it was too bright so I dry brushed with white acrylic-doing both layers several times.The images were embossed with moonglow ep and painted with H2os.Lastly I added a green opal glaze.I hope she likes it as I had fun with this one.

I have been experimenting with Studio papaer which is waxy.You print an image onto it from the computer.Ideally this goes onto a page but having smudged work in the past ,I decided to put it onto white tissue and then attach it with gel medium.This has been more satifactory and you can still see the background through the paper.
