ROY G. B...um...only five pics per post??





I may be nuts, but I can only post five .jpg files in this entry. Is there a limit? I don't know. I guess I'll go investigate! Anyway, here is part of my (Roy G. Biv) RAINBOW of ATCs I made a few weeks ago for Jenny in Fresno, CA! In the next post I'll show you the Indigo & Violet! What I think is really cool about these is - well, ok there are two cool things - the main images are printed from the computer onto thick cardstock weight VELLUM and then, to make them stand out without all the background showing thru, I WATERCOLORED with ink & a blender pen on white cardstock and mounted it behind the image. The colors show thru just a bit and the effect was exactly what I was going for! The other cool thing is the backgrounds themselves. I used black ink on them all to keep them cohesive, and just went a little nuts with stamps from 3 or 4 different sets - basically stamping collage all over with an old world paris-writing-postage stamp theme. These are some of my favorites! Thanks for looking!
