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
ReplyDeletegreat job on the tut.
