Set of 3 ATC's with Erin Quiding-Sampson

         

To start, I cut my Art Trading Cards (3.5” by 2.5”) out of 110lb card stock, then did a thin coat of gesso over the top.

Next, I cut scrap papers to use on the background and applied them using matte gel medium.

I used a bit of black paint and distress oxides (listed below) on my background.

I then did a white wash on both the lightbulb and the fly chipboard pieces.

I used a bright yellow embossing powder on the lightbulbs and used a pigment powder to colour the flies with.

I used a white gel pen to make markings on the tail end of the flies.

All the pieces were adhered down with gel medium, then I added white and teal paint splatters all over.

I also used a bit of the teal pigment around the edges to tie it all together.
