Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower TE59" Floral Spray Artist Trading Card

 

Another Artist Trading Card (ATC) from me today.  Using a white card base, I coloured it with "Sea Glass" Ranger Archival Ink. I then used "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Grunge ST3" stencil. I then used "Peachy Keen" Ranger Archival Inks on the edges of the card, then dragged Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink over the outer edge to provide a more distressed look.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the central floral spray, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower TE59" stamp set.   I colorued the flowers and leaves by painting Distress Oxide Inks.  The colours I used are: Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmmon and Peeled Paint.  Finally, I added some black and white dots of Posca Pen and a word sticker saying "Beautiful Chaos".

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.

You just go with what ever is in your head at the time.  You can stamp, get inky, use patterned papers, texture, embellish it is all down to you.

There is a dedicated private Facebook Group, with a lovely bunch of people who are already sharing their makes from previous challenges.  You can find the group by clicking this link.  I'd love you to join in. 

The prompt for Week 37 is "It has wheels!" I used a cream coloured card for the base, stamping the Funky Fossil Designs engine from their "Engine Room" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, coated in Wow! Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.

I then used a Clarity "Stripes Stenci" with two shades of Ranger Archival Inks (Sea Glass and Tea Rose).  I then used the Funky Fossil "Slimline Brick Wall" stencil with Sea Glass, Tea Rose and Shadow Grey Ranger Archival inks. I then inked the edges of the tag using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the scipt on the left hand side of the tag, the text if from the Funky Fossil Designs stamp set called "Musings",  I used the same ink with the Funky Fossil Designs A7 "Halftone" stamp.

Finally, I added a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker saying "Inspection Requested" and drew round some of the circles in the Funky Fossil Bokeh Builder stencil.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Bloom and Grow TE42" Card

This is my third make for the day.  I used the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Circular ST6" stencil with "Sea Glass" Ranger Archival Ink, deliberately fading out the colour towards the left hand side, so there was just a hint of the circle edge in one area.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the floral spray and sentiment, both are part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Bloom and Grow TE42" stamp set. I coloured the flowers with Derwent Inktense Pencils, a white gel pen and a 2B pencil for shading.
