Painted ATCs

I love painting ATCs. The perfect mix of paint and paper ... and I'm in creative heaven. This batch was fun to do. I used my WISP brush (the largest size) to paint the lines. When I paint on paper with acrylics, instead of using water - I use glaze medium. No buckling!

These are for a quick ATC swap on Urban Scrappers.

Another swap, another attempt at mixed media. This time the theme on the Art For The Creative Mind group is Recycle & Reuse. I had an old sketchbook - unused - which I thought would look nice with an updated cover.


I crackled the basecoat, added some paper accessories from my scrapbooking stash...and I added the vines and leaves using Ceramcoat acrylics. I am very happy with the way this turned out - and hopefully my swap partner will enjoy it as well.
