Hello, Paper Artists! Welcome back to A Fourth Life. Because I attended parochial schools and was on the business track in high school, I never was able to take art classes as electives. That may be why I love to make backgrounds for my cards using art supplies. Today, I have another mini-tutorial using muslin, magazine photos, glue, silver paint, and tissue paper. I am hoping
Victorine Original Stamps--Mother's Day, and
Speedy TV/FOSTV--tissue paper like my finished product. Cut a piece of muslin and coat it with white liquid glue. Attach cut out glossy photos from your favorite magazines to create a collage effect. Let dry completely. Coat again with white glue and crinkle tissue paper and lay on top. Let it dry completely. Dry brush silver paint in parts of the sheet of paper. Use this background paper to make your card. You might consider making the design and embellishments simple since the background will be so striking and textured. Thanks for stopping by!
This card will be entered in the following challenges:
Splendiferous Creations--a feminine touch;
Broken Box Stock -- Mother's Day;
