Tracy Evans "Framed Delights TE58" Brick Wall and Frame Card

I used Wow! Rich Gold Embossing Powder and ink , heat set o create the central frame, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Framed Delights TE58" stamp set. I then used Ranger Archival Inks through the Tracy Evans "Brick Wall ST9 stencil".  The colours I used are:  Sky Blue, Shadow Grey, Prickly Pear and Tea Rose.

I stamped the frame again and used the extrernal area as a mask to protect the rest of the card, so that I could stamp within the fram.  I used Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" light brown ink to stamp the text, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Winter Delights TE23" stamp set.

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the wild flowers within the frame.  The flowers are part of the Tracy Evans "Create a garden TE66" stamp set.  I then stamped the bird on the branch, from the same stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I added touches of white gel pen, a black pastel pencil and a black fine liner pen for extra detail.

Tracy Evans "Create A Garden TE66" - Bird On A Branch Artist Trading Card

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  Starting with a white piece of card, I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks at the base of threcard, using "Lucky Clover" and "Peacock Feathers", pulling the colour up towards the top of the card using a paint brush.

Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I multi stamped the wild grasses in the background.  They're part of a Tracy Evans stamp set called "On The Wild Side - TE50".  I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the bird on the branch, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Create A Garden TE66" stamp set.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the sentiment, which is part of the Tracy Evans stamp set called "Nature Feeds The Soul TE48". I added texture and depth of colour to the bird and grassed by using Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a white gel pen, inking some of the edges of the ATC, using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

A late in the day Artist Trading Card (ATC) make from me today. I added a wide band of a peach coloured water colour paint down the middle of the card, then painted a line of bright pink down the centre of the stripe of colour.

Once dry I was able to stamp the background design, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Create Your Own Story - TE51" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the bird, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Create A Garden - TE66" stamp set.  finally adding some black dots and a touch of white to the bird.

I used a piece of white card 4x4" on one edge I added diluted "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.  Once dry, I then added another layer of ink using a narrower strip of diluted "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide Ink.  I used a little of the "Saltwater Taffy" ink on a fan shaped paint brush to splatter fine dots of paint over some of the white area.  I then wafted the heat gun over the surface till totally dry.

I tore the edge of a piece of copy paper and used the torn edge as a mask over some of the inked edge.  I then used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to multi stamp the text from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set, repeating the process till the right hand edge of the card was filled with text.

Next, I used the wild flowers from the same "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set with Versafine Clair "Twilight" a dark blue ink. I added some touches of yellow Posca Pen to the middle of the flowers.  

Finally, I used a small bird from the Tracy Evans "Garden Elements - TE30" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I added touches of white gel pen to areas and some white dots of Posca Pen to the pink areas.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create a garden - TE66" Artist Trading Card

My Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day uses the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set.

This was a really quick make, using a piece of yellow card for the background and dragging three shades of Ranger Archival Inks across the card.  The colours I used  are:  Cactus Flower, Vibrant Fuchsia and a very small amount of Violet. I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the wild flowers and the sentiment, both are part of the Tracy Evans "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set.  I also used the same ink to ink the lower edges of the ATC.  

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create a gardem - TE66" stamp set

Another make using one of the recently released stamp sets from Tracy Evans. For this card, I have used the "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set.

I used a circle mask for the coloured circle, drawing a line where I knew I would be stamping.  then I used "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink through the circle shape, leaving the area where I would be stamping lighter in colour.

I used two colours of Versafine Clair inks for the fuchsia, using "Avocado" green and "Baby Pink" coloured ink.  I then coloured the flowers with Derwent Inktense coloured pencils, applied with a paint brush.

I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the bird and branch, which is also part of the "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set.  Finally, I added extra detail to the flowers and the bird using a white gel pen, adding some white dots to break up the grey colour using a Posca Pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Love Grows Here - TE65" Card

Today, I recieved a very speedy turn around of an order of stamps I placed on Saturday, which arrived with me mid-day today, Monday.  The stamps are from Tracy Evans Boutique Designs and are part of her recent new release of stamps and stencils.

In my prepared background folder, I found a peice of card with yellow and green spray inks across the surface, so decided that this would be the base. I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the garland, birds and sentiment of "Love grows here", all these images are part of the new stamp set called "Love grows here - TE65".

Next I used the Tracy Evans "Snippet Stencil Heart - SS12" with "Monarch Orange" Ranger Archival Ink to create the heart shape.  I then used Versafine Clair "Summertime" orange ink to stamp the flowers within the heart using flowers from another new stamp set by Tracy Evans called "Create a garden - TE66".

I returned to the Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the small hearts within the large heart shape.  These little hearts are part of the Tracy Evans "Quirky Birds - TE10" stamp set.

I decided I wanted some bolder colour around the edges of the card, so used a blenting brush to apply "Mowed Lawn" Distress Oxide Ink at the lower section of the card and "Mustard Seed" Distress Oxide Ink at the top.  Finally, I added some dots to the garland and a mohican haircut to one of the birds, using a black fine liner pen.
