    Snow ATC

    January 15, 2010 - By 


    Just a quick ATC using mostly scraps and trash.

    The substrate is a waffle box. Book text for background. The “snowflakes” are bits cut from tablecloth I cut up to use as doilies in antique bookcase. The metal is from around the neck of a wine bottle. I had to print backwards, which is no easy feat for me, with an embossing tool to make the word SNOW. I lightly grazed the raised metal with Staz-on ink to give it definition.

    Wanting to play a bit, I pulled out an old project so I’d have a direction.

    I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time completing this book. I’m thinking maybe it’s the book itself. I didn’t choose wisely with this one. It’s too stiff and unforgiving. I fear that I’m going to break the binding if I bend it too far…which is a very likely scenario. My friend Elizabeth has a great tutorial for picking the right book to alter. Too bad I didn’t read this BEFORE starting the book.
