FILM STRIPS

 This class is about using film strips as the focal piece on an atc. I have used a couple of film strip dies that I've had for a while and a film strip made from acetate coloured with alcohol inks, then the edges have been given the typical edges using my Cinch Book Binding Machine. The beauty of using the Cinch Machine and acetate is you can make these strips as wide as you like, remembering to keep the scale of your piece in relation to the square holes that are punched along the edges. Alcohol inks make it easy to add your colouring to the acetate and if you make it too dark, a little isopropyl alcohol will remove some of the colour. 

"A mirror with a memory"
(Acetate/alcohol ink overlay)



"Pause button of life"
(The background is from a previous class
where we used watercolour paint to create
stacking shapes.)

"Before"
(An embossed background with the same film strip
die that was used above but with embossing powder
to add the gold texture to it.)


"Life is like a photograph"


"I'm gonna snap
(Acetate overlay with alcohol inks)


"I shoot people"


Finally, a card using the film strip die cut from book paper.
