IA Challenge-ACEO/ATC
In case anyone is not familiar with and ACEO or ATC, they are small pieces of art, the only rule being that they measure 2 1/2 by 3 1/2--the size of a standard baseball card. The difference in name determines what you plan to do with them...ATCs are traded; ACEOs are sold.
As I said in my last post, flowers are often the inspiration for my art. I created the background with a transfer tape technique (say that three times fast!) adapted by one I saw on Ink Stains blog. This artist is creating a calendar & for each month demonstrates a new technique. There are a few more I hope to try. Since I am determined to use what I have on hand, I used some glitter paint, fine glitter, and a music stamp. I painted the aceo card before laying down the tape.
In this image you can see the background a little better and also the quote. I created this in response to the IA challenge curated by Maggie this week.
