This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day, The background is a mop up session of Distress Oxide Inks from some time ago.
I used Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink with the "Paperartsy / Kate Crane KCM015" stamp and Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink with the "Paperartsy / Kate Crane KCM013" stamp. I used the same ink for the sentiment saying "inspiration" which is part of the That's Crafty "Lots of words" stamp set. Finally, I added some dots of "Blackberry" Liquid Pearls.
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.
