Notes: Collage tag
The shoe polish darkened the clip-art and brought out the edges.
I don't know if I like the brush marks, which I didn't see before.
What do you think?
In future I will use a fake credit card or better strokes.
I used Lab Hydrion pH Test paper to test the Kiwi Shoe-
polish
and Modge Podge and they weren't Acidic
