Texture Paste Backgrounds

Texture Paste is another one of those products that has been around it seems like forever but it's one of those great standby's for when you're looking for that extra bit of dimension, it's just perfect! I've used texture paste before in my classes, several times in fact but each time I do I try to give it a little twist so the girls who have been doing my classes for several years will still learn something new about an old product. So we have texture paste backgrounds coming up in this fortnight's ATC Technique classes at Scraptivate. Samples below...


"Breath"...
"Dreamscape"..."Wild"...







"Bewitch"...


I'll have more of these to show after I've done this class again.


The atc below is one of the Glue Backgrounds from a couple of posts ago that I've just finished. It's going to be a raffle atc for the Paperarts Yahoo Group that I belong to. Each month we do a WTA (Winner Takes All) Raffle where we submit an atc and then a winner is drawn and everyone in the raffle sends their atc to that person. As a consolation prize as I don't like losers (who does!!!), I also send an atc to the loser too so they don't have to feel bad about not winning. Just a bit of fun and it's the only other atc's that I send out on a monthly basis. Apart from my raffle atc's for each of my classes that is, oh, and also apart from my naughty atc swap I do with Mands each month....come to think of it, I don't do too bad after all.


If you haven't noticed my new blog link up the top right for the naughty blog.....take heed of the warning, but if you're open minded, take a look!

More Reflective Microscope Slides

Here are some more of the Reflective Microscope Slides from the current technique that I'm teaching at my atc classes at Scraptivate. As usual with anything that's reflective, the scanner has huge problems with it. These images actually look more like tin-types as they are transparencies laid over foil tape with glass slides on them. So the scanner is trying to cope with both glass slides and the reflective properties of the foil tape....but you get the gist of them anyway, I hope. ;-)
