Instructions

I began by painting the box and ATC’s in green paint.

Once dry I gathered a selection of previosly made gelli plate prints in natural colours or prints with a botanical feel to them. I also picked a selection of book text too. I began adding pieces of gelli print and book text randomly to the box and sleeve and each ATC.

 

I wanted to added a bit of texture so added lots of black stamped images to the box and sleeve. I used some Tando stencils and white textured paste to add detail to all the ATC’s.

Once the paste was dry I fussy cut out some lovely vintage flowers and added them the the ATC’s and  box/ sleeve.

 I added ATC trade stickers to the back to keep track of what and when they where made and just incase I want to trade in future.

I doodled around the outside edges of everything

When everything was dry I gave everything a coat in clear varnish to give it a glossy look

I hope you like my version of the ATC Match box
