Decoupaged ATC

Decoupage: * (French)cutting out or up with knife, scissors or other tool. * the art of decorating surfaces by applying cutouts of paper and coating with several layers of a clear finish such as varnish or lacquer.

Thank you twobluecrows! I should have put that in the description!!

No problem! I had just happened to be on a definition page and found this and thought it would help. Some people might confuse collage with decoupage.

Cyn

is this sender's choice for the theme(s) or should we tailor it to our partner's profile?

It's entirely up to you! It would be nice if you could send something you know your partner likes but some people have limited supplies and may not have anything to match the partners likes! so I think as long as you would be happy to receive what you send it doesn't matter what the image is!!

Will need to see if any of my Victorian scraps are small enough to put on an ATC.

Arhhhhhhhh it makes sense now, I couldnt understand why jessmarie had left me a rating saying that my atc wasnt decoupage cus I knew it was. Well Ive just received mine from Kimbewa and it is a totally different technique to how we do decoupage in the UK. Decoupage in the UK is a 3d picture using smaller sections of one image to build up a design so it stands out. I think the US decoupage is more of a collage? Is that right? So bit of a translantic breakdown lol!! But hey never mind as long as we all get lovely atcs, Im sure it doesnt matter!
