Leandra posted a really interesting Challenge this month - Fragile papers. I remember posting about my ATCs some time ago but I still have them and admire them often - in fact I think I will make some more.
I didn't use papers from any of my books but tore three pieces of paper from the pages of our local free paper.
I drew out the sizes of the ATCs on the paper and drew various flower symbols with a lead pencil. Using watercolour I covered the front of two papers and the back of the third one.
The painting on the back did not show so when it was dry, I painted the front of the paper as well!
I painted one yellow and pink, one was blue and green, and the third one was painted blue on both sides.
I had to leave my desk for a while and, as you can imagine, the paper was very dry when I returned.
I painted the flowers with watercolours, even the white showed through a treat, and left them to dry.
Once dry, I attached the paper to the card and rounded the corners to complete them.
My Artworks to Inspire and encourage and. . . . a bit of this . . . . and . . . . a bit of that . . . .
