I don't know how it happened that I found time to "play" this weekend as I have a "patient" in the house...my hubby...with a cold!
How many men do you know that aren't sicker than the rest of us??? Why is this so? Can there be an answer for this? EVER!??
But...I digress... thanx to a friend in the Newcastle area,I was experimenting with a sheet of foiled card-stock, sold as temporary splash-backs for greasy areas, in one of our $2/el-cheapo shops for $2 a sheet, measuring 54cms by 75cms, so if it does what I want it to, it will be MORE than a bargain!
I ran a piece thru' the Cuttlebug to emboss it, then coloured it with Alcohol inks.
As I have said before, I always have "stuff" on my desk, so I made up a couple of ATCs using the inked foil as the background, using some of the "stuff".
The first one has gold Rub-ons, Gold German Scrap border, rubbed with Treasure Gold and I cut a gold, metal filigree embellishment in half for the halo. I used Kindy Glitz for the dots above the points.
The other inked foil BG made me think of water so, after adding some white (gesso) circles using a pen lid as a "stamp", I added an Artchix Collage Sheet mermaid and a fish images to it, then some wired plastic leaf trim, a piece of Gold German Scrap for her "crown", Kindy Glitz on her tail and bust, and for the stars on the wings, I used a white Gel pen.I went around the image shape with a metalic gold pen and used Gold Kindy Glitz around the edges of the ATC.
This third one came into being because I not only had another mermaid and a fish image handy, but I also had the BG with the fish on the right already on it, and some stamping done as well.
I Kindy Glitzed her tail and bosom and some of the stamped dots, then added a silver washer to the fish's eye.
The words for all came from a sheet of words,also at the ready .
And...I just realised that none of them have a 3D effect!!!... How unusual for me...amazing!LOL
