On my way to the exit of my local Tesco store, there is a charity book table, where you can take a book for a donation of 50p. This little book "A Field Guide To The Mushrooms & Toadstools of Britain & Europe". It's a fab little book, with lots of great images, which I thought I could use for collage and my Artist Trading Cards (ATC).
I cut a picture of fungi from the book and glued it into position on a Brusho background, cut to ATC size. I used the Lavinia Stamps "Pibbles" stencil with Versafine Clair "Green Oasis" ink. I then drew round some of the pebble shapes with a black fine liner. while the pen was out, I also added line detail to the fungi.
I then added some white dots of Posca Pen in between the pebbles, circling them in a red fine liner pen. I then added some small red dots to the background too, along with a line of scratch marks round the top left edge of the ATC.
I added a small snail to the bottoms of the ATC, stamped in Versafine Clair "Fallen Leaves" brown ink, with touches of a gold gel pen. The snail is part of a Tracy Evasns stamp set called "Love Grows Here - TE65". Finally, I added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "treasure".
