See Through ATCs and my First Attempt at Soldering

These are the last three ATCs for my see through swap. I've done five altogether and I wanted to have a different see-through element on each one, so I've used fabric, acetate, tissue paper, a microscope slide and fusible film. The top one is a microscope slide, which I've alcohol inked on one side and stamped on the other side. I cut the ATC from mountboard and cut a hole in it for the slide and slotted it in. I then soldered around the edges of the slide on both sides to keep it in place. This was my first attempt at soldering, and I would definitely say it's not as easy as it looks (although I did find it a LOT easier once I realised I was supposed to put copper tape around the edges of the slide first)! I painted the background silver, stamped the clock backgrond on tissue paper and stuck it on using Mod Podge and then added silver embossing powder around the edges.
For the second one, I stamped the image on tissue paper and inked it on the back then painted a layer of Mod Podge on both sides. (I didn't like this one because I had to wait for it to dry!) I cut the frame from mountboard and covered it with black tissue which I painted using interference paints. (The frame has a shimmery finish which doesn't show up in the photo.) I then attached the tissue to the frame.

For the last one. I created the background using a rainbow inkpad and stamped the brick pattern onto it. I stamped the house and then masked it off and added some Glitz Spritz spray around the edges. I cut out the window and added some fusible film behind it which I'd heated firstly by ironing to fuse it together and then with the heat gun to bring out the colours. I finally added the little gold star and some gold rub-on around the edges.
