The Peeling Paint Technique


Another set of 5 ATC's for a swap at the "Artist Trading Club". This merry month of May the theme is a background challenge,"The Peeling Paint Technique". This can be found in Claudine Hellmuth's book "Collage Discovery Workshop". Basically, paint a layer of whatever colour, leave to dry, spread some Vaseline here and there, using another colour paint over the top of the whole area, dry and rub off the paint where the Vaseline is and there you have it peeled paint. So now I have to decide which one of my 5 am I going to keep,do I keep the one I least like or the one I like best, dilema, dilema.
