I felt like I cheated on today's Think Monday, Think ATC challenge because I didn't use text and aluminum foil in my background like the tutorial did. It's not that I didn't try both the first time around, but I think a background this bold needs a bolder stamp than the mermaid one I used earlier today. The Stamper's Anonymous Create worked much better and the aluminum foil under the alcohol ink gave it a copper look.

A funky gluebook-style novel that almost didn't make it past the 50 page mark, but then there was an interesting twist that's got me reading to the end. I bought it for the style, I'm reading it because the story gets interesting after those first few pages.Eric Maisel: The Van Gogh Blues: The Creative Person's Path Through Depression
I avoided this book for so long UNTIL I saw Eric Maisel at Artella as part of his virtual book tour. The book accomplished its goal and I'm working on a new research project. Something I haven't done in way too long.
The foil does add a lot of interest, both of these ATCs are great, Love your mermaid too!

Angela, your backgrounds are gorgeous. Not everyone used aluminum. Some used book pages. I love the coppery look.
