My NEW project is about a Totally New Beginning.
I made a trio of ATCs for my crafring friend who is changing her life
and starting a brand new, better one. This trio is all about this transformation. That is why I started with dark grey colors and then been adding others.
The last one is colorful and full of hope. The same is with the girl who was growing until she was big, strong and ready to start again.
I started with cutting my ATCs from a solid cardboard and took some leftovers (which I rarely throw away) and glued them to the bases with gel medium.
Then I applied a thin layer of white gesso and let them dry.
After, I stamped SSS Good Reading Background with my stamping platform.
When my bases were ready I played with colors.
First I gave some touches of Distress Oxide Inks melted with water,
dried and coated with mod podge.
Finally came the best part - giving more colors and showcasing the patterns
of negative die cutting. I loved the process and loved to play with oil pastels.
Here are some close ups:
