For Noreen_Ann's ATC Theme Swap (Love, Group 1).
This ATC uses a Gibson Girl image from Dover Publications that was printed on acetate and embossed with clear EP because the ink wouldn't dry. Her dress has a bit of diamond Stickles brushed on the back for a little sparkle, but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.
The BG paper was masked and stamped with Print Pattern, then reverse masked and painted with a light coat of gesso to make the figures on the acetate stand out a little better.
Finally, the flourish was added and the edges sponged with all 3 ink colors because I couldn't decide what I liked.
Phew!

BEAUTIFUL! I love printing on acetate and vellum and stuff. I hadn't thought about painting the back side, I have been cutting paper and putting behind what I want to show. GREAT idea.
