CORRUGATED CARD REVISITED

It's been several years since I've used corrugated card on ATCs, so I thought we'd revisit it. It's such a versatile addition, adding great texture and depth to the backgrounds. For my samples, I've kept to a very neutral brown/white/kraft colour scheme, but of course you can easily add colour if you want. Using book pages further complements this particular style of ATCs; after attaching them to medium-weight cardstock, they become sturdier and can be easily die-cut into shapes.

First though, I finished my cover for this current book, #36. This was from my Metal Grunge class at the beginning of this month.

CRAYON BRUSHO RESIST

 Brushos and other similar powders are a great way to add colour to watercolour paper or, as I've used here, photo paper. There are quite a few different brands of these highly pigmented powders available, and I have used the following for my samples: Brushos, Nuvo Shimmer Powder, Lindy's Magical Shakers and Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder. They are all dry pigment powders made up of several different colours that create the final colour when mixed together, but the amazing effect you get if you don't mix them is wonderful! You end up with little bursts of several colours all in the one powder mix.

I've used a white crayon for the resist technique portion of this technique. That's all of the white marks that you can see on the photo paper.
