Gold and Silver ATCs

Working with gold or silver is a nice change from bright colors.

These ATC's were so amazingly simple to make, it's almost embarrassing.  (Isn't it written somewhere that ART has to be difficult to make, and complicated to design?  Maybe sometimes I make it more difficult than it has to be.)  

Here's how the gold ATC came together:
The background was already brushed with acrylic paint.
A strip cut from corrugated cardboard added a nice textural focus after a rubbing of gold acrylic paint.
Silver embossing powder sprinkled over two rubber stamped images melted nicely.
A wrapped metallic-look fiber strand added the only touch of color

Elements of the silver ATC on the right included a layer of tissue paper over a patterned background, a collaged tissue paper butterfly, and silver embossing powder over a rubber stamped image.
