A few years ago i organised a technique swap for an atc forum i was involved in.
everyone sent me a background technique with a description on the back and i compiled them into books and sent them on their way.
It was lots of fun and i still get my book out when i get stumped or need some inspiration....
but.........
i havent added to it.....
so thats where you come in.....
bubble and acrylic paint layers...would you like to particpate ?
alcohol inks and tissue paperwould you like to start your own book or add to the one you already have ?
im hoping we get about 10 people and all you do is make a background for the 10 and send them to me and you'll recieve 10 different ones back....

hi Jen, sounds a great idea.Your little book is inspiring indeed. Have fun!!
Hi Jenxo
I am entering.
I do take my book out as well and it is great when you have a day when the muse isn't up to par.
I would love to do a few
1. burnt glue backgrounds can be used for embellies too but will do an ATC size
2. coloured bleach with a twist
(one of my calendar pages)
3.distress glue
and I have one more if you like
4. molten pigments/chalks or even coloured eye shadows.
I have one more but will wait to see if anyone else comes up with it, if not, it will be a freebie, I will surprise everyone.
Ok better stop or there won't be any left for anyone else.
If you need more numbers and don't get 10 just holler.

Just to let you know...I posted on my blog and linked to you. If you want me to make you a button for this I can...send me a pic or type of image you want for it and I can make a small button in Gimp.
All you would have to do is go to Gadget add picture then add the direct link to the post.
Can you tell I am excited???
And...you don't have to post this.
Les ♥ :)
I would like to try.. I could do a metal tape technique! sounds like fun!
Hi,
I am an occassional lurker, but after reading your post I thought that this might be fun, so if I could I would like to join in. I do quite a bit of painting, so if it's okay, I would like to do a background with acrylic paint and crackle medium.I will look forward to hearing more from you.
eek! you temptress you, would love to do this but unfortunately have my hands full with other projects. Can't wait to see the new list of techniques. Mx
I would love to add to my bookie :)
I could do a simple coffee technique :)

Oh YAYYY! I'm so glad you're doing this. I still get my lil book out for inspiration as well and I'm excited that we're adding to it. I'll come up with a technique and let you know. Thanks Jen

I'd love to take part Jen, it sounds great!
If it hasn't been done before I'd like to try 'Plastic Wrap Crinkle' - one of the techniques covered in a Claudine Hellmuth book :)
Yes yes yes count me IN! I'd love to do the fusible film eg. The heart on my latest canvas and the Inkurable orange ATC swap but I am not sure if everyone has access to it. I'd be able to suggest a supplier. What do you think?
Hiya, Jenny directed me over and I'd love to take part, making a background using spray webbing :)
Hi Jenxo, I have completed 3 of the 4 techniques but I want to change one of them. I would like to drop the molten pigments and do melted crayons instead.
I also made a few extras in case, last count we had 13???
Les
