The Big Easy!!!

By
Loved using Black Chalk Paint on an Echo Art Board ATC... and working with the Steampunk Gelatos & Metallic  Gelatos!!!  Taking photos was tricky... depending on the direction the flash the color of the Gelatos changed!


 



Supplies from Altered Pages:
Echo Art Board ATC
Black Chalk Paint
Mailbox Muse - The Big Easy Mardi Gras 
Acrylic Block
Versa Color Black Ink
Pirates Gold Embossing Powder
Steampunk Gelatos
Metallic  Gelatos
Waterbrush
Dew Drop
Gold Opulence
Gel Xtreme Gold Pen
Tacky Glue


Paint Echo Art Board ATC with Black Chalk Paint, let dry.

Using Versa Color Black Ink stamp the dry ATC with Mailbox Muse - The Big Easy Mardi Gras stamps.
 
Heat  Pirates Gold Embossing Powder  on the ATC... it is perfect for the black ATC.   
Rub small amounts of Gelatos on craft mat, dilute with water.  On a scrap paper painted with the Black Chalk Paint test how Gelatos will look when dry.

Paint ATC with Gelatos using Waterbrush, allowing to dry between colors. 
Let the ATC dry! Add a Dew Drop with Tacky Glue. Cut a bit Gold Opulence and adhere to the corner of the ATC.
 
With Gel Xtreme Gold Pen add decorative border, also on the side of the Echo Art Board ATC.
 
 

 FINISHED!!!

    The black background makes the gold look richer. This is a festive artist trading card!

 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.
