Artekarten

Art Cards has for its theme this week using a new collage technique.

I used a metallic blue, a light blue and an orchid color acrylic paints, pages from an old book, a picture from a magazine, gesso, black and blue India inks, china blue distress ink. After the pages, paint, and gesso I ran the paper through Cuttlebug. This is detailed on Kamino's blog, which is in German. I hope I translated it well enough to follow the instructions ok.

My entry isn't anywhere near as beautiful as Kamino's example. Be sure to visit Artekarten to see all the entries.

Another card I made using this technique is here.

P.S. I gave June permission to borrow the background to use in some of her work. Take a peek at Junibear's Jottings.

    I am so curious about this artwork. There is something very mysterious about it to me. Going to check into it further.

    Loved your stained glass artwork! After viewing Cindy A. I was thinking about looking into this challenge and now Im convinced. Just gorgous Faye.
