Introduction
My name is Nicole Zander. I am from Germany and 25
years old. I am married and hope to have children soon. ;) I am working
for a German administration not far from Cologne. In my free time I love
to go out into the nature, reading books, love dancing and making music
(I have an African Djembe) and going out with my friends. My absolutely fave hobby is to make art. I love to play with colours and inks so that
my fingers are sticky in the end. ;) My favourite mediums are Inks
(Distress inks and Adirondack inks) and acrylic paints. I also love my
Twinkling H20s. ;) I am working with many different mediums and always
trying new techniques. ;)

Title 3 Grungy ATCs
ARTchix Products
Gypsy Heart collage sheet |

Instructions
Paint ATC sized cardstock with black acrylic paint, then let it dry. After this, put a bit of a page from an old textbook onto the card. Then you have a
go with acrylic paints in different colors (here red, brown, white) and
make different big strokes, so that it looks all muddy and grungy. Let
it dry again. After this you use different rubberstamps and stamp onto
the whole card in different directions with black Staz On ink. Then you get
the pics (Gypsy Heart collage sheet) and put it onto the card. And
finally you press these rings with white acrylic paint onto the
cardstock and you are done. ;)

Title 3 Cracked ATCs
ARTchix Products
Loveliness collage sheet
Instructions
Again, you will
need cardstock in ATC size. Put crackle medium onto the cards and
let it dry for 4 hours or more (depends on the sort of medium, Ranger
goes well). After this you use acrylic paint as the next layer. Let it
dry. After it is dry, you can see crackles in the background where you can
see the color from the cardstock through the paint. Then you get pics
(Loveliness collage sheet) and some embellishments and adhere to your
cards.
