ATC set by Asia Szczurowska

 

I like ATCs very much. I really like the idea that I can trade cards with other artists. They're not big, so they don't take up much space. Just great.

I created mixed-media ATCs. They have so many layers that you can't fit them in an album, but I have a special box for such cards😊

How did I make them?

I covered the HDF bases with black gesso and glued small metallic flakes on the edge.

On the watercolour paper (which was smaller than ATC size) I used liquid acrylic, stamps, rub-ons and icing paste.

Then I chose some metal elements, chipboards and casts and covered them with black gesso, metallic paints and waxes.

At the end, I glued everything together.

I love simple forms. The circle is one of my favourites. I decided to make something with them to hang on the wall. I can't paint, so I supplemented the artwork with a lady from rub-ons.

Mixed media card? Why Not.

Lately, I've been enjoying making greeting cards.

I love making my own backgrounds, so why not use them in cards?

I used liquid acrylics and stamps to prepare the background. There were also rub-ons on my work. At the end, I added gold and copper flakes.
