Ever have one of those days? You can't quite put your finger on it, maybe you can't put a name to it, but you just have this feeling. Maybe it's an off day. Maybe it's a good day where you forgot about everything for a little bit. Maybe it's a day when something unexpected happened. There's so many different aspects that can be covered. And that's how life is at time.
I didn't love this ATC or the batch, and when you do batch work, that happens. Even if you like the whole group or get a whole group done, one or two might not work out exactly how you like and you have to adjust them.
In this case, I grabbed some kraft paper that I had used as underpaper for previous projects and ripped a section that I glued to the ATC and trimmed off the excess to give a new background. This background has spots of paint as well as ghost images from stamps and leftover gesso from cleaning a stencil. I don't clean my stencils when I use paint with them. So many of my stencils are a riot of color from being used often with different shades of paint over the years. Gesso, however, is artist's primer, and like other mediums, like clear gel or texture paste, gets cleaned off stencils right away so the stencil can continue to be used.
In this case I used a white water-based Sharpie paint marker for most of the doodling. I also used a Uni Posca Paint Marker in Emerald Green and a Molotow One4All Shock Blue paint marker. And for some fun, I added a piece of washi tape and a couple heart stickers made into a butterfly.
I'm entering my ATC into the following challenges:
