This week the Challenge being offered up at Studio L3 is
Technique 8: Repurposed Packaging
Tim Holtz: A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. 2, page 62
I used this challenge to make some ATC for the swap on the All Things Time Yahoo Group.

I took the plastic packaging from some Grunge Board and stamped on it using Stazon ink.
Then I flipped the packaging over and mounted it to card stock that I had colored with Distress Stains and Distress Inks using Glossy Accents.
This is a close up of just one of the cards. Even though I didn't add any texture to the packaging I love how the whole piece took on the slick look of the plastic.
An even closer shot.
I wish you could see the slick, wet look each ATC has. The detail of the stamp really pops behind the packaging.
I love it, the fish really pops and I love that you used packaging plastic, really cool.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the subtle coloring that really makes the fish pop!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! And you gave me a great idea for my boss's retirement invites, as she's a scuba diver. I have my packaging part done for the week; just need time to hopefully pull it together!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! The plastic looks amazing on your background.
