I made this ATC for a Travel theme challenge and I guess I still had Paris on my mind:)
The background is cardstock with a scrapbook paper that looks like an old French map. The car is a Tim Holtz stamp, I added an image of a woman driving and then added liquid glass (a clear dimensional adhesive) to all the windows to make them more realistic. I also added a brass charm of the Arch D’ Triumph and the words “Ooh-la-la” embossed in my label maker.
One of my favorite companies for collage supplies is Artchix Studio, you can check out their website here:
and the owner Helga has a wonderful blog as well: http://www.myartisticlife.typepad.com/ where she has art challenges and her current one is a Paris theme so I thought I’d post one of soldered collage pendants for this challenge. If you have a blog you might like to participate as well, see her blog for more info.
I love Paris as a theme and for this piece I used a page from a vintage French text book for the background and layered on top an image of the Eiffel Tower on black cardstock and then added an image a couple in love and the word “love” cut from a vintage book. I also stamped a postage cancellation onto the front piece of glass itself using Staz-On ink. The Eiffel Tower and couple images are both from Artchix collage sheets.
