5.0 out of 5 stars Best Collage/Decoupage Book Ever!!, March 6, 2007
If I'd had this book years ago, I could toss out all my other books on collage, altered books, decoupage, etc. This book describes in detail every technique you need to collage, decoupage, and decorate on paper or whatever medium you choose. It also discusses the various mediums and paints used and has excellent instructions for each card pictured. And, yes, the pictures are exquisite eye candy, as another viewer mentioned. They also inspire and get you motivated to make your own cards.

I have to add a warning, though: making these art cards is highly addictive and can make a total mess of your living space and lead to harder core projects, like decorated boxes and journals. In my little corner of the den at home I now have containers of paint, glue, paint brushes, cut-up magazines, 2 T.V. trays full of projects and assorted other sparkling ephemera. But I haven't had this much creative fun in years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for ATC and Collage!, March 22, 2007
*****
I am a newcomer to collage and to artist trading cards (ATC's) and this book was simply wonderful. It explored over 32 different innovative techniques that can not only be used for ATC's but for any type of collage. The book includes a brief history of ATC's, storage, signatures, resources, and many, many examples of beautiful ATC's. What a tremendous guide!

Each step is illustrated in an easy-to-follow fashion, and followed up with creative finished examples. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just in time for the holidays, December 12, 2006
By S. Fishburn (Fort Collins, Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
here's a lavish new offering in the altered arts and mixed-media lexicon. Bernie's book is filled to bursting with the ATCs of over 60 accomplished artists in glorious, rich and true color. If that sort of eye-candy isn't enough for you, there are plenty of techniques for creating your own striking and original ATCs. Enticingly organized into 32 sections as varied as Leafing Pen Resist and Resin Fresco, each includes a brief explanation, What You Will Need and a clearly demonstrated photographic how-to. There are several examples for each technique included and an 8 page Gallery of additional cards. A history of ATCs, cool suggestions for storage and/or display, a resource list and comprehensive artist contact info round out the contents. North Light has published another appealing volume which does justice to both the author and her subject.
