Another ATC. I was going to use the background for a different project, but it didn't work out so I made this instead. I discovered that punchinella sticks well with gel medium. I hadn't tried that before. By Sherre

A pear using the stained Glass technique. These are all ATC-sized; i.e., 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. By Sherre
This is a new technique I tried for a swap. It is called the Stained Glass technique. It was developed by Julie Durocher. You color glue black- I did this by adding india ink to an old bottle of Elmer's. Then you can draw a design with pencil and then trace with the glue, or just freehand draw a design with the glue. I mostly just freehand drew with the glue. Then use watercolor paints. I used Lyra Watercolor Crayons and some Twinkling H2O colors. This one is titled "Tulip." By Sherre

This is the front of a little deco I call "Fairy Secrets." The quote is from an antique music book. It reads like this, "up a hill and down a hill And past a dreamy meadow; There's a daisy field Where nodding blossoms grow;Ev'ry flower seems to bow And whisper to it shadow, Telling fairy secrets no one else may know." By Sherre
This is the back side of the Fairy Secrets Deco. By Sherre
