Die cut flowers Artist Trading Card

I found myself up in the craft room and decided to make another Artist Trading Card (ATC).  I like that they are a quick make and a small area to fill.

I used some pink and white patterned washi tape to cover the card base, then used some narrow stirps of white card and glued into position. Next I added some torn pieces of text from an old book, adding some gold dots to those areas using a gel pen.

On a white piece of card, I die cut the two flowers, no idea what the die is called, it may have come with a magazine.  I then coloured the flowers with Ditress Oxide Ink, using Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade and Ripe Persimmon and glued into position.  I added some black dots with a Posca Pen then added the Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "delight", finally adding a few dots of black Ranger Enamel Accents.

Paperartsy Kate Crane KCM013 Artist Trading Card

I'm enjoying making these little Artist Trading Cards, it's handy as it uses up some of the small scraps of papers I've saved for that "just in case I need them moment"! 

I've used an off-cut of a Funky Fossil Designs patterned paper for the yellow background, stamping the Paperartsy "Kate Crane KCM015" stamp in Versafine Clair "Verdant" lime green ink.  I've then used the Paperartsy "Kate Crane KCM001" stamp with Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.

Next, I tore a section from an old hymn book and covered it with "Mermaid Lagoon" Distress Oxide Ink, then glued the torn section on to the ATC.  I rounded the corners of the card, then edged the card in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink. I then splattered black and white Posca Pen across the surface of the ATC.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the Paperartsy "Kate Crane KCM013" branch stamp.  I then stamped the same image on a piece of white card.  I fussy cut the white leaves and glued them into postion on the ATC.

Finally, I added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker, saying "discover" and added some white dots of Ranger Enamle Accents.

Creative Expressions Wreath Die Cut Artist Trading Card

Another Artist Trading Card, this time using washi tape from Funky Fossil Designs and some torn edged pages from a book for the background. Edged in Verasfine Clair "Melon Soda" green ink and topped with a small die cut wreath by Creative Expressions.

I've used a black and white Posca Pen adding a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker to the middle of the wreath, saying "magnify".  I have then added some brigh orange berries to the wreath using "Outrageous" Liquid Pearls.

Floral Artistr Trading Card

 

I'm continuing using up small scarps of paper that loiter in the corners of my desk, making this Artist Trading Card (ATC).

I've used assorted patterned papers in yellow and orange colours, along with some torn pieces or print from a book, washi tape and plain coloured card.  I've topped the ATC with a flower I stamped the flower (a Hobby Craft stamp), on to white card using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, coloured with "Crushed Olive" and "Ripe Persommon" Distress Oxide Inks. Finally adding dots of black and white Posca Pens and a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker saying "Good Life". Edging the card in "Warm Breeze" Versafine Clair Ink.

Orange and yellow Artist Trading Card

I'm enjoying using up off cuts of card and patterned papers that have been lingering on my desk for some time.  Making Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) allows me to do this. 

For this ATC, I've used patterned papers, a strip of cardstock, torn secions of text from a book, topped with a foliage die cut, which I have coated in "Ripe Persimmon" Distress Oxide Ink.  I've finisihed with a splatter of black Posca Pen and a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "Collector of memories".

Funky Fossil Designs "Ammonite" ATC (Artist Trading Card)

Another ATC (Artist Trading Card) make using up off-cut"s of card.  I've used the Funky Fossil Designs "Ammonite" A7 stamp, stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist" grey ink.

Around the ammonite, I have coloured the background with "Spun Sugar" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then coloured the ammonite with"Lost Shadow" Distress Oxide Ink.

I masked the ammonite image and then used the Funky Fossil "Crackle" A7 stamp with Versafine Clair "Baby Pink", edging the card in the same colour. Then gave the surface a splatter of black Posca pen. Finally, I added the word "peace" which is part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Sentimental Sticker Stack".

Funky Fossil Designs "More Furry Friends" ATC (Artist Trading Card)

Another quick play in the craft room, making this ATC (Artist Trading Card - which measures just two and a half by three and a half inches).  I've used three different washi tapes by Funky Fossil Designs for the background colour/pattern.

On an off cut of card, I stamped the ball in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and the dog in Versafine Clair "Acorn" a mid brown coloured ink, both are part of the Funky Fossil Design "More Furry Friends" stamp set,  I then coloured the dog with two shades of Distress Oxide Ink, using "Mustard Seed" and "Rusty Hinge".  I coloured the ball with a yellow and orange Posca Pen.  Finally adding a word sticker from the Funky Fossil Designs "Sentimental Sticker Stack".
