Third Part of Tutorial

This is the third part of the atc tutorial:
Next add stamps to the background I used red and black ink and overlapped the images filling up the space.

Next glue together your image and the background, I also added a heart to her shirt with one of the text pieces I had left over.

And that's it, you are done with the front!



One the back, put your atc info: title, date, artist, etc.


Thanks for being artful with me. If you are interested in winning this atc plus some painted text papers to make your own atc, leave a comment and I'll draw a name and post the winner on 8/9.

Wonderful tutorial. I learned a lot. I would have never thought to ink the edges of the ripped paper background, and I see by your pictures what a great effect it has. I find collage art really difficult -- but maybe that's because I have been trying to throw everything at it at once. Loved your step by step layering. Great card, great tutorial. THANKS for posting it

Great tute. I'm actually thinking of doing a mixed media background for something I'm working on now, and this gave me a couple of hints. Thanks!

This is a great tutorial. I'm sure there are others out there but I have yet to look for them, so this was the first one I've ever seen and it made it seem fun and unintimidating. It's always nice to meet new bloggers. I've added you to my bloglines. As the governator would say - I'll be back.

Very cool way to create an ATC. Results in an almost transparent look since you can see the text through the colors.
