Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Flora and Fauna TE53" Rose and Heart Anniversary Card

This evening I made this anniversary card.  I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the rose, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Flora and Fauna TE53" stamp set.

In the background, I used the Tracy Evans "Heart SS12" stencil, with "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then used the same ink through the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS43" stencil round the edge of the heart.

I used a 2B pencil, a paper stub and a white gel pen to shade the rose in.  Finally adding the sentiment, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Love Grows Here TE65" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I had another play with the pencil and paper stub technique making this monochrom card.  I masked off all sides of a white piece of card, I used a blending brush with the remainder of black ink on it from a previous project to colour the edges of the masked off area.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink to stamp the sign post, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Flora and Fauna TE53" stamp set, using the same ink, I stamped the bird which is from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "A Promise Of Tomorrow TE63" stamp set.

I used a circle of paper to act as a mask and edged the circle with black inkt that was on one of my small blending brushes from a previous project.  I then started to add depth to the stamped images by using a 2B pencil and a paper stub.  Finally, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the sentiment, saying ""Create your own story", which is part of a Tracy Evans stamp set of the same name, with a reference of TE51.

On the right hand side of the card, I daubed two shades of Distress Oxide Inks, I used Dried Marigold and Spiced Marmalade colours.  Using Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" beige. coloured ink, I multi stamped the gate from the Tracy Evans "Flora and Fauna - TE53" stamp set.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the flowers and sentiment, both are part of the Tracy Evans "Special Delivery - TE64" stamp set.  I added some touches of green pastel pencil to give it at lift in colour. Then added touches of gold coloured pen to the flowers.

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day. I've used pastels through the Tracy Evans "6x6  Brick Wall Stencil - ST9), in various shades of white, browns, greens and red shades.  I stamped the lamp post and the sentiment in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  The stamps are part of the Tracy Evans "Flora and Fauna - TE53" stamp set.  The dog, also stamped in Verasfine Clair "Nocturne" black ink is part of the Tracy Evans "Beauty Surrounds Us - TE56" stamp set.

I grounded the dog and the lamp-post by using versafine Clair "Morning Mist" and added touches of black fine liner pen to some of the bricks and a white gel pen to the lamp-post.

Traacy Evans "Flora and Fauna - TE53" Artist Trading Card

An evening play session, making this Artist Trading Session (ATC).  I used two Distress Oxide Inks painted on to a central band of the card and then stretching the colours from top to bottom by dragging the paint brush.  The two shades of ink I used are:  Crushed Olive" and "Saltwater Taffy".

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the flower on to the card.  I then stamped it again on a piece of white card, painting it using a brush with a Derwent Inktense pencil.  I then fussy cut the image and glued it into position over the original stamped flower.  The flower is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Flora and fauna - TE53" stamp set.  The sentiment (also stamped in Nocturne), is from the same stamp set.

Finally, I added some dots of black pen and then some larger dots of white Ranger Enamel Accents.
