Just a few short weeks ago I left a comment for the amazing multi talented Gaby asking her if she would like to trade with me. I was blessed and a little surprised when Gaby instantly replied that she would like to. The ATC's above arrived today (with some wonderful ephemera) and I was blown away; so much wonderful detail and yet the cards are still almost flat. The flowers in the middle card are hand painted, there are tiny seed beads glued to Nadine's dress and the backgrounds are full of colourful layers of paint and stamps.
Some of these ATC's are winging their way to Gaby and Debbi. Did I mention how excited I was when Debbi, the Debbi Baker, asked if I would like to trade with her!
To do these I grabbed a handful of chipboard and paper frames and applied rusting paint, then dry brushed a little verdigris paint on top and let the oxidising solution do its thing on both paints at once. While they were drying I took a handful of green toned paper scraps and sprayed the whole lot with walnut ink. It was then the fun began, using little bits and pieces off my desk (and the floor), some Tombow water colour pens and distress inks I fiddled and arranged for, well a long time..Off to check the bread pudding in the oven, YUM!

I was doing ok until you mentioned the bread pudding!! Now I'm hungry!
All the ATCs are beautiful. I'm sure Debbi and Gaby are just as excited to trade with you as you are to trade with them. Your artwork is always wonderful.
absolutely stunning ATC's
I always love your rusted creations! Just looking at them, one would think they were metal. Hard to believe it's just chipboard.
I have a recipe for chocolate bread pudding if you're interested.

I love your rust creations Julie. I am always keen to have a go at rusting...but still procrastinating. Might have to buy some rusting paint methinks as these are fabulous! The receipients are sure to be blown away.
