| For this piece (an ATC, or Artist's Trading Card) I used a photo from when my husband and I were newly-weds. First, I collaged a piece from an old book on, and then I collaged our photo over it, added the words from Shakespeare, and a border of raised paper. Then I smeared paint over the edges and wiped it down, covered the whole thing with Acrylic Matt Medium, and while still wet, sprinkled some tiny gold blass beads. |
