A friend Kath sent me some stamped hands - so I am trying out different ways of using them.
I painted some backing paper, and added some silver
Then I inked over the silver to dull it down a bit and to make a mottled effect with the colour combinations
After which I stamped on the ferns then collaged the hands.
The flash on the camera makes the silver look bright and shiny - but in natural light it is dull, and just adds a subtle shimmer behind the soft colours to give it a bit of depth - sometimes I find stamped image ATCs look a bit 'flat',so am trying out ideas to solve that.

Lovely! Those hands are just begging for a globe to hold.

These atcs with the hands are so fascinating. There is such potential in their openness. Gorgeous.
