The Four Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are represented on my latest set of ATC's, made with Finnabair Moulds, Metallique Waxes, Art Alchemy Paints, and beads!
They came from a deck of regular playing cards, that I covered with white gesso. Once dry, I embossed some stamping with Emerald Creek Boho Blends (Wrought Iron) Embossing Powder. Then I added some Finnabair Mould pieces and Mini Art Stones, before painting with Art Alchemy Paints. All of the texture was brought out with Metallique Waxes applied with my fingers. I thought (Bronze Age) was perfect to represent the practical Earth signs of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, shown with the globe stamped with the Stamperia (Around the World) Stamp!
The Air Signs of Gemini, Libra, and like myself, Aquarius, have a curious nature, represented by the moon. I just love the blues and purples against the (Vintage Gold) Metallique Wax!

The energetic Fire Signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are shown here, using (Rich Copper) Metallique Wax.
The sensitive Water Signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are represented on the last card using (Old Silver) Metallique Wax. Beads were the last step, along with this broken chain I found awhile back.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week!
