Transparent ATCs

One Comment


Design team member Carolyn Brady made these unique transparent artist trading cards, using images from the Shadow Life collage sheet, and some Clear ATC Bases. Carolyn describes her process:

I’ve been meaning to try this out for awhile now. Attached are 6 ATCs using contact paper transparencies of images from the Shadow Life collage sheet and text from Spirit Words. They are attached to clear ATC backs that have been colored with alcohol inks. I originally glued the transparency to the back with Aleene’s Paper Glaze, but discovered when you put it between two pieces of non-porous plastic, it doesn’t dry very well. I ended up adding a border of metal tape cut with decorative scissors and colored with alcohol ink.

    Love-love-love these! Great technique Carolyn. The colors of the alcohol inks are perfect with the black line images. Thanks for the tutorial on them.
