This set of ATC cards was created using a cereal box as substrate, in fact you can still see a bit of the bar code behind one fish. I lightly sanded the background so it takes color better.
After painting the background with acrylics I for the fish and applied different colors. Then I removed the stencil and stamped the fish with black ink and heat embossed them with Psychedelic transparent emboss powder.
It makes the fish glitter and glimmer. Lastly I applied "waves" through a (flower!) stencil, stamped a bit of background noise and applied the collector numbers.
