Naked Lady ...

I finished my ATCs for the Naked Lady swap through Addicted to Scrap due at the end of January.

This ATC is quite different to what I normally do, for instance, it's off-white and lately I've been using a lot of colour especially red & copper ... I've used pieces of tulle, fabric & lace and had good intentions of sewing these on, but was afraid the cardboard might be too thick so just used gel medium to stick them on instead. I nearly left the edges plain, but I kept thinking the ATC wasn't finished so I used Spanish Copper Rub 'n' Buff and although it just looks like a brown edge, if you tilt the card up to the light you can see a copper sheen, it quite subtle.

I used a translation web-site for the words "Dame Nue", which are supposed to say "Naked Lady" in French, but whether this is true or not, I have no idea ... still, I thought it could be right, so I used it.

What a grand thing, to be loved!
What a grander thing still, to love!
