Hi there!
Today I have for you simply inspiration – mixed media ATC with cute, very original old photographs. I’d like to show you how simply you can create a colorful background.
HOW I DID THIS ATC?
First of all, I create two ATC cards from watercolored paper.
Then, I choose bright colors with magic, metallic watercolored paints.
I’ve used TCW889 stencil and light&fluffy modeling paste and amazing color paints with metallic effect. I really love our light&fluffy modeling paste! Then I painted whole background using my paints and our orange heavy body paint and stick old photographs in the middle of my cards and added some words on stickers.
I love the texture in my work and amazing, very bright, spring colors in the background! 🙂

It would have been nice to actually SEE the background. Teeny, tiny edges around the foreground just don’t really show you anything. Can’t even see evidence of the stencil.
