painting collage

I made the drawing collage into a painting collage. i hope to shrink it.. Print atcs and tweak a series. I have never copied atcs before. Last year almost all of the atcs I got in trades were just copies. I hope to make the prints each unique. I have about ten individual atcs almost finished. Any comments are welcome (:

elephant collage

this is the first layer for my collaged atc. I am hoping to add depth to the sections with inks, embossing, gel medium, tissue paper etc and print a few atcs then add some textures to the prints. i hope to add embroidery floss to divde the sections on the final cards. I lost my elephant drawing in the first attempt so I made it darker. Hope it works here goes.

I am making cards to trade at artiscape. I also am making charms.

Excited about art

this morning I came up with two ideas for my artist trading cards. One involves an elephant. and the other quarreling faires. LOL yesterday I used a printer to print on vellum and used embossing powder to give it some zing. I want to work on making small hearts in a similar way if I can find red embossing powder. I am sure there is sure a thing. I am looking to find utee which I have never worked with. there is so much fun stuff to play with (:
