David Niven Artist Trading Card



I came across a fabulous hard backed book called "The Films of David Niven" on the charity table at our local Tesco.  The book has some wonderful black and white images in it, which I felt would be great for collage, which is how my Artist Trading Card (ATC) came about.


I used a yellow piece of card for the base, cut the picture from the book and glued it on to the card at an angle.  Using a black fine liner pen, I added horizontal and vertical lines and dots.  

I then emptied my hole punch and added some coloured dots to the card and some small pieces of Tim Holtz "idea-ology" collage paper with French text on it.  I coloured the faces and napkins in the photo using Derwent Inktense pens.  I dragged a red ink pad over the surface of the card and inked the edges in black ink.  Finally, I added a die cut circle in yellow card and the Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "I'm happiest when I'm with you"!

  1. Well, I've actually arrived at the start of August...lol, and what fun to include some bits from an old book about David Niven, and surrounded by some of your lovely doodled lines and dots, and the bits out of a hole punch with circles on too..who would've known they could look so good. x
