Reflective Microscope Slides & Glue Background ATC's

Yay....I'm actually early with this post! So we'll be using microscope slides for this fortnight's ATC Technique at Scraptivate, but we won't be wrapping them in the normal way AND we'll be making them reflective with foil tape as well. It's why it's kind of hard to see the images in the samples below. Plus I have the final 7 of the Glue Background atc's (yep, loved this technique!!!). Firstly, the reflective microscope slide samples.


"Permanent"...

"Admit Nothing"...
"Too many freaks"...

Now the final Glue Backgrounds. Firstly, my favourite one...

"Every second"...

and my second favourite one... (lol)

"Pointe"...

"Nymph"...
"Failure"...

"Love without passion"...

"Mortal Destiny"...

"Damaged"...

There will be more of the microscope slide ones after my classes as I demo the technique for the girls so I always end up with more. Just need to finish them off after the class is done! The images from these first 3 are from the Itkupilli blog. She has great images! This is the Itkupilli etsy store where I buy them from. I'll have another good link for more collage sheets in the next post.

Glue Backgrounds & more Corrugated Card

Glue Backgrounds is this fortnight's technique. What a great way to add texture and of course if you paint it after with Golden Paints, the colours are fantastic!!! I've only got two samples to show to start with as I left another 2 at work and haven't scanned them. That will come in the next week or so. Something a bit different with these two, I normally mount my small images onto chipboard for extra height to the cards but I didn't want to take away from the texture of the background so I cut a window and the image is underneath. Nice for a change!



"Sooner or later"...

"Ballet dancers"...

Below are the last few of the Corrugated Card atc's from the last class.

"Observe"... (love the look of the little microbeads in the valleys on the corrugated card!)

"Balance"..."Automaton"...

"Repose"...

That's it until I get some more done. I know the classroom is going to be HOT, HOT, HOT tomorrow with all the heat guns going while we cook the glue! ;-)

Corrugated Card & Faux Leather atc's

The technique for this fortnight is corrugated card. Love how versatile and grungey this stuff is and how great it can be for masculine atc's or cards. We have it at Scraptivate in 12" x 12" sheets in both the kraft colour and white.


"Desire"... (I've used microbeads in the little channels of the corrugated card for this one)

"Smitten"... (This one has the edges and ridges embossed with silver embossing powder)

"Temptation"... (Just thought you might like to see a pic of my hubby.....lol)

"Voyeur"... (Self explanatory! Card painted with gesso, burnt umber light and silver)


The atc's below are from the last class I taught - Faux Leather.

"Vision"...

"Flagrant"... (This one is almost identical to the one from the previous post but something I did differently with this class was show the girls how to put chipboard under the tape to create the depth. In this case, the chipboard corners from Collections.)

"Disobedient"... (Another similar one to last post though with the little squares that come from the same pack of chipboard corners...waste not, want not!)

"Contracted"... (A chipboard keyhole also from Collections wonderful chipboard products.)

More samples from the Corrugated card class in the next post.
