For this card, it started out as an Artist Trading Card (ATc) but I liked it so much, I decided to make it into a card topper!
I started with a white piece of card, two and half by three and a half inches. I used two shades of spritzed Distress Oxide Ink for the coloured background, using "Tea Dye" and "Old Paper" shades of ink.
Once dry, I stamped the magnolia, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Magnolia TE43" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink. I then painted the stamped image with "Pebio Drawing Gum" which is a masking fluid. I then used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the script text, which is also part of the Tracy Evans "Magnolia TE43". I then used a black fine liner pen to draw two circles. Then rubbed off the masking fluid.
I used brown and white Van Goch Pastel pencils to colour the magnolia stamped image. I then added more detail using a white and a gold coloured gel pen, adding some gold coloured dots to the background too. Finally, I mounted the ATC on to a black background and then on to a cream card.
