I was gutted to miss the 8th challenge over at The Craft Barn Q & L challenge, hope I can catch up later. So today I made my 2 ATC's for the 9th Q & L challenge the words we have been given are Unique and Fame I chose Fame as the song popped straight into my head and has been buzzing around ever since. click here song from film....I loved the film!
The backgrounds are made using a paint which I swirled together and then put two pieces of card together and pulled them apart. An experiment which was a success as I really love the effects that I achieved and the texture is fabulous, the thicker the paint the better the texture and effects.
I have chosen to use the chorus on my ATC's which was too long for the ATC so I made two, tissue tape was added to the edge of one and torn into pieces for the other, I used the butterflies as I thought the background looked like the pattern the wings when magnified........or is that just my imagination lol.
I wish you could feel them they are very touchy feely
Thanks for looking
'till next time
Items used
Tim Holtz ATC die, distress ink
Acrylic paints
Tissue tape
Gorgeous ATCs, love the technique for the background. Looks fab :)
ReplyDeleteLove that squishy painty background, which I haven't done for ages, but now, well, I'll just have to! I've had that song in my head for some time now!
ReplyDeleteYour background is just wonderful! A fun process, too, which is different every time and kinda uncontrollable! Glad you are feeling better--being sick and missing crafting is no fun!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been unwell - lovely to have you back with these beauties. Love the pulled paint effect - fabulous!

Ooh, I love that idea - add paint and then squish together. I hope I remember to try it and enjoy the 'touchy feely' texture. I love the results you got here and I agree that it is reminiscent of butterfly wings. Excellent :o))
ReplyDeleteI love the background effect and that song is going to be in my head for a while now.
ReplyDeleteTerrific ATCs Maggie.
ReplyDeletePleased you are feeling better
Love Chrissie x
Fab ATCs Maggie and such a kewl technique! The song is now playing in my head like a jukebox - it's taken me back YEARS, lol! Chris xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful background - love the swirly pattern!
ReplyDeleteWOW such a wonderful background, i know what you mean about the creamier the paint the better the design. Made these types of backgrounds years ago when i was just starting out, good to see your here it is amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ATC's, yes the butterfly wings do reflect your design. Love what you have created here, true ArT :-) xxx
I love your experiment, fab texture and indeed it looks like the wings of a butterfly.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful ATCs, fabulous backgrounds. Love this technique.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ATC`s - love the swirls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super technique! It looks amazing and I am itching to try.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ATCs, that is a beautiful marbled background and the butterflies set it off well.
ReplyDeleteI've used that background technique before and called it smoosh and twist. I agree the results look like feathers. Your colors made it even more special. And I'm going to have FAME in my head for the next two days (grin).
ReplyDeleteGreat ATCs and the backgrounds are fab! Hope you are feeling better now xx
