In my ATC group, the Feb. theme is collage. I had to do lots of looking on You Tube and Pintrest to get ideas for this theme. I finally made a 'masterboard', and cut that into smaller ATC sized pieces.
I will show the process after the ATC's.

Here is how I made the masterboard- most of the pieces are from magazines, some of the pieces are DP.
I glued down all of the pieces with Mat Gel Medium onto a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock.
Next, paint Gesso over the top of the dried Masterboard.
Wipe over the top with a baby wipe.
I stamped a Unity stamp in Black Stazon over the dried masterboard. I could have added more paint colors over the top, but wanted to leave the back white and let the colors from the magazine pages take center stage.
I used a Unity heart script stamp and embossed it in gold. I decided to stop here and embellish the backgrounds.
