Gel medium and extra glitter, plus torn papers, a torn hole in the page with a spiderweb sewn in over the hole (using fibres and textured wool) plus metal confetti and eyelets.
In hindsight, I wish I had scanned the pic of the little girl; she's fabulous. It was a magazine page I have hoarded for several years, and now can't even remember the mag, or I'd buy it again.
Brenda had already applied the letters, and allowed me to add my embellishment around them: heavily-applied gesso (using a palette knife) blue glass beads, glitter, Diamond Glaze and more metal confetti.
I got to do the very last spreads for this swap, and also the cover, finishing the book.
The page before the little girl, showing a torn pocket on the left with an ATC tucked inside, and the torn holes with spiderweb effect (darned with wool fibres) plus heavy application of gesso, Diamond Glaze and glitter (and a few eyelets thrown on for luck).
Closeup of the pocket page without the ATC.
Front and back views of the ATC, with lots of German Scrap around the edges. The actual artwork is a cheat - I used stickers! (they were so sweet, I couldn't help myself) and glazed with tons of Diamond Glaze ... and yes, more glitter!
I hope this is putting you in the mood for Christmas!
