What I love to do the most is to make backgrounds..... here's an atc with a handmade background made with nail varnish. To do this you get a very shallow dish, put a slight bit of water in the bottom, add drops of nail varnish (this will float) and then push the atc onto the water/nail varnish mixture. Allow to dry. You get some fabulous backgrounds and they are always different.
