Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower TE59" Wisteria Card

I started with a white card and drew the window in pencil, shading the windows and adding demention with shading and a paper stump.  I then covered the exterior edges of the window frame with Pebeo Drawing Fluid to mask the area.  I then gave the rest of the card a wash of diluted "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink. 

Once dry, I then used two shades of Ranger Archival ink:  Tea Rose and Shadow Grey, through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Brick Wall ST9" stencil. I then used the Frisk Maskaway eraser to remove the drawing fluid.

I then started to stamp the wisteria.  There are two sizes of it on the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower ST59" stamp set.  I used the following Versafine Clair inks:  Avocado, Shady Lane and Very Peri.  I then added extra colour using Derwent inktense pencils.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning MIst" grey ink, I stamped the text down the left hand side, using a stamp from the Tracy Evans set called "Create A Garden TE66".  I used the same ink to stamp the robin, part of the Tracy Evans "Love Grows Here TE65" stamp set, using Derwent Inktense pencils.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create A Garden TE66" Blackbird Spotlight Artist Trading Card

This was the Artist Trading Card I made yesterday morning, but didn't get round to posting it on line as we had friends staying over.

The background is brayered Colorbox ink with stronger colour towards the base.  I used a circle mask to cover the central area and inked the external edges with Versafine Clair "Chianti" dark red/brown ink. I then used a gold coloured gel pen pen to draw polka dots.

Within the central circle, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the blackbird on a branch, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create A Garden TE66" stamp set.  Adding some touches of white gel pen to the branch and bird.  Finally, adding a printed word saying "spotlight",

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create A Garden TE66 stamp set" Bird on the tiles Artist Trading Card

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I have used a Brusho paint background from my stash. I then inked the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Tiles SS37 stencil" with Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink and stamped the pattern on to the ATC.  After cleaning the stencil, I then applied the same colour ink through the stencil in the top right and bottom left corners.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the bird and the wild flowers.  These are part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create A Garden TE66" stamp set.  using the same ink, I stamped the branches in the top right corner, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Silhouettes TE38" stamp set.

I used a white and a yellow Posca Pen for the flowers and tree blossom.  I used a dark blue and a white pastel pencil on the bird, adding highlights using a white gel pen.  Finally, I added a word sticker saying "Don't forget to fly".

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "A Promise Of Tomorrow - Te63" Holly Artist Trading Card

 

Another Artist Trading Card (ATC) for me today with a hint of Christmas to it.

I lightly covered a white piece of card with "Tea Dye" Distress Ink to give it an aged look. I then used the holly stamps from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "A Promise Of Tomorrow - TE63" stamp set, stamping in frist and second generation, using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane", a mid green coloured ink.

I then inked the edges of the card using "Rain Forest" Versafien Clair ink.  This is a brighter shade of green, even though it is acrually darker in colour.  I coloured the holly berries with a red Posca Pen.  I then outlined the leaves and the berries using a black fine liner pen.  

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Pinecone" a mid to dark coloured brown ink to stamp the bird on a branch, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create A Garden - TE66" stamp set. I used Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a black fine liner pen for definition and then added touches of white gel pen to the berries, bid and branch.

Tracy Evans "Beauty Surrounds Us - TE56" Retriever Artist Trading Card

 

I managed to find my way back in to the craft room and made this Artist Trading Card (ATC).

I used a grey coloured piece of card and stamped the retriever dog, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Beauty Ssurrounds Us - TE56" stamp set, stamped in Versifne Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I grounded the dog using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  Then using the same ink, I stamped the flowers, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set.

On a piece of light green card of the same card, I die cut a circle.  I stamped the same wild flowers along the lower section of the card, then glued it over the grey image.  I used a white and yellow coloured Posca Pen and a white gel pen for the flowers and highlighted areas.

Tracy Evans "Garden Elements - TE30" Hydrangea Artist Trading Card

 

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day. I've used Verasfine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the hydrangea petals on to kitchen roll.  The petals are part of the Tracy Evans  "Garden Elements - TE30" stamp set. I've then inked the edges of the petals using "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink, fussy cut the petals then peeled off the extra layer of paper on the back to achieve a delicate less rigid looking petal .  I've then glued them on to the grey coloured card base.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink again to "finger" stamp sections of a text stamp which is in Tracy Evans "Create A Garden - TE66" stamp set, stamped in random poisitons.  I then added some silver coloured sticky backed dots from Funky Fossil Designs, finally adding some black and white dots of ink by the text and a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker saying "faith".
