Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Love Grows Here TE65" Dandelion Artist Trading Card



This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I started with a white card colouring three quarters of it using "Veridian" green Ranger Archival Ink, making it darker at the bottom fading the colour out towards the top.

I then coated the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Tiles SS37" stencil with "Peacock Feathers" Distress Oxide Ink and gave it a very light spritz of water.  I then turned the inked stencil upside down on to the ATC.  Holding the stencil in position, I used a piece of kitchen towel to blot any excess ink away before lifting the stencil.

After cleaning the stencil, I then lay it on top of the ATC, aligning the pattern and applied "Peacock Feathers" Distress Oxide Ink again through the lower area of the stencil using a blending brush.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the dandelions, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Love Grows Here TE65" stamp set.  I then added some white dots of Posca Pen and a word sticker saying "a new beginning" and inked the edges of the card using "Veridian" Ranger Archival Ink.
