Another ATC...All About Layers!

Hi Everyone!  Nicole here with another fun ATC Card to share featuring layer upon layer of technique, medium and color!

I started with one of the new Birch Wood ATC canvases to make sure my base was nice and sturdy so it would hold up to lots of creative abuse!  I then began to tear up book text from an old dictionary and adhered it to the base using Mod Podge.  When it was completely dry, I began fingerpainting over the book text with the Silks Acrylic Glaze colors...green, blue, yellow and yummy pink!  What I love about these glazes is that they are more transparent than acrylic paint, so after painting it on I was still able to see the book text layer underneath without having to wipe any off...so cool!  After the glaze was dry, I grabbed a couple of fun stamps and randomly added some text style and postage style stamps to the background, along with some small snippits of rub-on extras I had hiding in my stash.

While that was drying, I grabbed the little bird & flower die cuts and painted them with silks.  I added them to the the final layer along with lots of fun ephemra I had in my mixed media stash, like washi tape, drywall tape, a little filmstrip, random metal bits, ribbon and a button!

And here's what I ended up with:
