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".
