Believe in Santa ATC's

I love playing with all the wonderful collage images for Christmas you will find instore at Altered Pages, and who doesn't love Santa............I believe in him do you?

I started by choosing a some images and cutting them.

I had a desire to try out another new to me Stencil from The Crafters Workshop with some texture paste around the edges of my ATC's but first I needed some color on my background.

Some Red paint and a old Credit Card to apply it worked well.

Once dry it was time to apply the stenciled design with the texture paste.

Using some Gold Delicata Ink I stamped and embossed the word Believe.

Once the Texture Paste was dry I smeared Gold and Black Ink over the Design to highlight it as well as running some around the edges of the card base. Then it was time to stick everything together. Some gem centered flowers from Petaloo worked well as a simple embellishment too.

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!
