This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day. Starting with a white piece of card, I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks at the base of threcard, using "Lucky Clover" and "Peacock Feathers", pulling the colour up towards the top of the card using a paint brush.
Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I multi stamped the wild grasses in the background. They're part of a Tracy Evans stamp set called "On The Wild Side - TE50". I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the bird on the branch, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Create A Garden TE66" stamp set.
I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the sentiment, which is part of the Tracy Evans stamp set called "Nature Feeds The Soul TE48". I added texture and depth of colour to the bird and grassed by using Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a white gel pen, inking some of the edges of the ATC, using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.
Lucky Clover and Peacock Feathers go together beautifully Sam, and the bird is so cute..looks like it's been for a dip and has wet feathers, and the flowers make a wonderful backdrop, and a very apt sentiment to finish. x
