Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Sunflower TE33" Artist Trading Card

 

For the background of this Artist Trading Card (ATC), I used Distress Paints and took prints from a stamping block.  The paints I used here are Prize Ribbom, Salvaged Patina and Speckled Egg.

I actually made a mistake making this ATC.  Initially there was stamping below the sunflower. but I didn't like it.  I stamped the clock face, part of the Tracy Evans "Moments In Time TE25" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I then used an Aqua Posca Pen to add dots to the background, circling them in a white gel pen.

I covered up my error area by stamping the sunflower, part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Sunflower TE33" stamp set on to white card, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I then coloured the stamped image by painting Distress Oxide Inks on to the petals.  The colours I used are: Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Carved Pumpkin and Rusty Hinge.  I also added touches of gold coloured gel pen.

I fussy cut the sunflower and glued it into postion on the ATC.  I then went around the edge of the card using a dark blue Posca Pen.  Finally, adding the word stickers saying "you are never too old, to dream a new dream".

Visible Image Stamps "Stay Wild" Artist Trading Card

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.

For the base, I used an off-cut of a piece of Stampin' Up patterned paper, tro cover the card base. I then used Versafine Clair  "Medieval Blue" ink to stamp the horse and the sentiment, which is part of the Visible Image Stamps "Stay Wild" stamp set.  

Finally, added some white and gold polka dots using Pens and drew round some of the circles using a black fine liner pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower TE59" Seed Head Card

Another card, using a background I created a couple of weeks ago using three shades of Ranger Distress Paint (Prize Ribbon, Salvaged Patina and Speckled Egg).

I stamped the seed head, from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower TE59 Stamp Set, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I stamped the top of the seed head again, but this time on to white card, fussy cut it and put it to one side.

I sed Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink through the Tracy Evans "Distressed Background SS31" stencil.  I then splattered white paint, using Dr Ph, Martin's bleed proof paint over the surface of the card using a fan shaped paint brush.

Once the paint was dry, I glued the seed head into position adding extra shading using a white pastel pencil and a white gel pen.  Finally adding a word sticker saying "take chances".

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" Ivy Flower Pot Card

Another disturbed night of sleep, so I got up and faffed in the craft room, eventually making this card.

I started by adding a light covering of "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink on the lower right hand side of the white card. I then used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" to stamp the flower pot, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" stamp set.  I masked off the flower pot and applied three shades of Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans "Brick Wall ST9" stencil. The colours I used are:  Sea Glass, Tea Rose and Shadow Grey.

Removing the mask, I then added grounding and shading below the flower pot, using a 2B pencil and a paper stub.  I painted the flower pot using two shades of Distress Oxide Inks.  The colours I used are Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge.

Next I stamped the ivy leaves, part of the Tracy Evans "A Myriad Of Designs TE44" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I added extra colour to them using Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a gold coloured gel pen.

Finally, I stamped the bird, part of the Tracy Evans "A Promise Of Tomorrow TE63" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Fallen Leaves" and coloured with Van Goch Pastel Pencils, a black fine liner pen and a white gel pen.

Back in the craft room this morning making this card.  I used  several colours of Ranger Archival Inks through the Tracy Evans "Frames SS24 Stencil.  The colours of inks I used are: Sky Blue, Sea Glass, Sun Dazed, Peachy Keen and Magenta Hue.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the flower over the stencilling.  The flower is part of the Tracy Evans "New Beginnings TE4" stamp set.  I then stamped the flower again on a piece of white card and fussy cut it.

I used Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink to stamp the ferns which are part of the Tracy Evans "Ferns TE3" stamp set.  I used a 2B pencil and a paper stub to add shading below the flower.  I then glued the white fussy cut flower into position on the card and added pencil shading to that too.

Next, I used "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans "Garden Text ST8 stencil. positioning the stencil so the writing ran vertically.  Finally, I added some black dots around the flower using a Posca Pen.
