B is for blue button, beads & brads...
..and A is for Artichoke!!!! Background is a page from a
National Geographic magazine where every page
had been brushed with concentrated Citrasolv,
then the magazine closed and left to fester overnight.
Lovely patterned papers appear as if by magic,
but you have to do lots of pages or it doesn't work!
The patinated cardstock used in some of these ATCs was made using Modern Options patinating solutions - these can be used on plastics, metals, card - you paint the card with a base coat (copper, bronze, iron) and then a second coats which reacts with the first to produce a patina (rust, green verdigris, blue verdigris). Modern Options make a neat little starter pack of 8 small bottles, at a reasonable price (if you live in the USA)

Absolutely gorgeous. I love each and every one of these. Must spend more time looking at each one closely. Looking forward to seeing the 2 missing one.
