Simple Beauty ATC

The background for this ATC is made with embossing powder and an embossing folder. There are many different varieties of embossing folders to choose from on the Altered Pages website. I then stamped a flower with Lapis Blue Paris Trunk ink over the embossing. Because of the texture from the embossing folder, I didn't get a crisp image, but I was just looking for a gentle enhancement to the background. Once my background was complete, I chose an image from AP-1855 Beauty in Sepia. I love these "beauty" sheets. There is a whole series of them in different colors. I die cut her with the oval die from the Labels die set. Then I adhered her to my background. I embellished the ATC with a resin flower and some pearls and rhinestones. A stamped sentiment completed my piece.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
