Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Transparent Things 2 creates layers that appear to float above the composition. Botanical elements, birds, butterflies and vintage colour charts allow the background to remain visible through their transparent surfaces, adding detail without making the design feel visually heavy.
Position them over Backdrops, antique photographs, typography and coloured backgrounds or place them inside pockets and transparent windows. Two or more pieces can also be overlapped to create new imagery and interesting interactions between transparency, colour and pattern.
Attach them with stitching, staples, brads, clips or small amounts of suitable adhesive hidden behind printed areas. Ink can be added around selected edges or small areas of texture paste applied while preserving their distinctive transparent character.
