Slide mounts
The first stage for an instant art swap by Adrienne which consists of lots of little bits and pieces.
Shining stone background
Trish has issued a challenge on NGS to try out this background technique. She has rewritten instructions and it's based on the technique in Julia Andrus' Paper Transformed book. They have a lovely gold sheen but that hasn't come out in the scans at all. Much prettier in real life.
Took a photo to try and get the sheen on the surface - you get more of an idea of the gold sheen on this one.

Wrapping paper ATCs
Combined two challenges into one and used some leftover Christmas wrapping paper and Trish's Advent images.
Christmas wrapping collage
The finished ATCs. Following is the original step byustep scans.
Step one is to make a collage with scraps of wrapping paper. I then put a layer of gel medium over the top of it all. When dry I put a thin layer of gesso over everything. Dried it again. Then sponged on some distress inks in yellow, orange and red.
Cut into ATCs and added some stamped squares with Stazon ink. Now I just have to decide how to finish them off. Will post the results when I've done that.
