October 2012: ATC Spoooooky Layers ;)
« on: October 01, 2012, 07:03:38 pm »
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo witches and ghosts and goblins, OH MY!!!
We're back to one of my favorite months of the year - favorite seasons of the year!   

Your challenge this month, should you choose to accept it - is to break out the spooky for your ATC.  Hopefully in layers, because layers of spooky is much better than straight out scared ;)



With my sample, I started with a tan CS card (2.5 x 3.5 is standard ArtistTradingCard size).   I then used gel medium (though thin ModPodge would have done the same, but I found my gel medium and was in love all over again LOL)...and started layering bits and pieces of newsprint all willy-nilly, no rhyme/reason other than BECAUSE I WANTED TO.  I used a layer of medium over top, then watered down some acrylic paint for a wash over top...darker in some spots than others.  I had found this awesome owl and tree picture (in the paper!) as an ad, and decided to do 1/2 fussy cutting and lahyer it over top.   Not enough layers? nah - looked too "clean" to me so I tossed some faint stamps over top of that, layered with the gel medium over top again, and BAM.   My inner make-a-mess-goddess was happy and gel medium/paint covered.

SHOW ME YOUR SPOOKY FALL LAYERS HERE! 
Thanks in advance for playing along (lynn *snort*)

I like that!  Do you put these ATC's on your layouts when you're done?  If not, what do you do with them?

I have a binder that has baseball card protectors in it - so these have an album all of their own when they're done :)

I don't usually use "new" stuff on ATC's but I did not have ANYTHING in  ANY of my stash that is Halloween or spooky or anything. I saw this witch and had to have her.
