Blogging my evolution as an artistic art educator - An art-based experience... 

Bold and beautiful... Fun and Fab... This new kit is a dream come true for anybody wanting to make Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)... 

Gauche Alchemy developed the kit...

ARTist Trading Card TechniKit

... and, I developed some SAAAAWEEEEET digital Collage Sheets for them...

Backgrounds

Word/s

Plus, I also created an ATC-how-to-make-them-basic-directions-sheet (The Anatomy of an ATC), and added a possible theme list, for those artisticly blocked moments (all of which comes with the kit)...

So, no matter what your experience level is with ATCs, you will find lots of ways in, lots of ways to fly, and lots of inspiring materials... The kit is INCREDIBLE!!... Check it out here... : )

Post 87 - - Punky Scraps Neon Challenge... My wall plaque... Madonna and Shakespeare come together...

Blogging my evolution as an artistic art educator - An art-based experience... 

Punky Scraps and Gauche Alchemy are teaming up for a NEON CHALLENGE... Check it out and try your hand at some neon fun, like I did...

I used lots of neon acrylic paint, some molding paste and GA Punchinella as a mask, hot glue to create the word "make", a multitude of alpha options for the Shakespeare quote, some stamping with Staz-on ink at the edges, and a wonderful old magazine pic of Madonna kissing herself in a mirror, in which I tried my hand at my first gel medium skin transfer... I am pretty seriously happy with this piece!... I may add some final touches to this piece before I am completely finished, and I promise to post detail shots and any additions soon...

Safety, health, happiness, and peace... Pam
