Give your atcs some shape . . .

Image
By
I recently joined a swap where the atcs could be any shape within the 
standard 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch frame, and wanting to try something other
than a house or gothic arch, went with a sweet summery bird:
You can see another variation of this bird at my blog.
The Vintage Text collage background has a wash of color, and the butterfly is,
of course, an Altered Pages transparency.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Love your birds (and butterflies)-so pretty. Both are favorites of mine to use in art. Haven't seen transparencies. They are beautiful.

      Thank you, Chris! ALL the collage pages at Altered Pages are available as transparencies--they really give a piece a whole different feel.

    Great idea for an ATC! I get tired of staying "within the box!"

 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!
