Think Monday - Middle Ages ATC

King of Fools ATC

Wow, two post in one day! I must be getting better. I've done this "King of Fools" Artist Trading Card for this weeks "Think Monday Think ATC" Challenge. It also is for Leonie's Recycled ATC challenge. Sorry the photo doesn't really do it justice, you really can't see all the texture and depth this ATC has. It was done using a scrap piece of corrugated cardboard from some packaging primed with Gesso and then painted with acrylic paints. Background is also a left over piece of painted baby wipe from another ATC. Image was printed from the computer and distressed with sandpaper, crushed and inked with Ranger Age Mahogany Distress Ink. The crown and text were also printed from the computer and attached. The whole ATC was then lightly sprayed with Memories Mist Merlot. The crown and edges were accented with a gold metallic ink pen.
