Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Good Things Take Time TE60" pigeon Artist Trading Card

 

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I've used a piece of white card for the base, adding colour that was on my blending bushes through the Tracy Evans "Brick Wall ST9 stencil".

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the flower pot, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" stamp set.  Using the same ink I added the text down the left hand side, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Good Things Take Time TE60" stamp set, stamped in second generation stamping.  I used the same stamp set and ink for stamping the pigeon too.

I then used Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" a sandy/beige coloured ink to stamp the special delivery postal mark, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Special Delivery TE64" stamp set.  I then coloured the pigeon and the flower pot by using a paint brush to apply Derwent Inktense pencil.  Finally, adding Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" and "Morning Mist" ink to the edges of the card.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs ""Good Things Take Time TE60" Flower Card

For this card, I used the flower from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Good Things Take Time TE60" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. I then painted the flower heads with Pebeo Drawing Gum to mask them from getting ink on them.

I then worked on the background, using the Tracy Evans "Circular ST6 Stencil" with "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival ink, colouring in three different sized circles. I then used the same ink with the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS43 Stencil" to add dots across the surface.

Next, I used "Shadow Gray" Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans "Distressed Background SS31 stencil" to create the diamonds. I deliberately left a relatively open space to the middle right of the flower so that I can add a sentiment at a later date.

I rubbed off the drawing gum then added shados to the flowers and to the diamonds to provide a more 3D look.  Finally, adding colour to the flowers by using a paint brush to apply Derwent Inktense pencils.

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day. For the background, I used "Sky Blue" and "Tiger Lily" Ranger Archival Ink through one of the apertures in the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Circular ST6 Stencil".  I used the same size to draw a circle using a black fine liner pen.

Round the edge of the circle on the left hand side, I stamped text which is part of the Tracy Evans "Good Things Take Time TE60" stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Arctic" light blue ink. Ithen stamped the word "Lily" and the flower, part of the same stamp set. stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I stamped the flower again on white card, fussy cut it and glued it into position.  Then added a touch of colour using "Scattered Straw" Distress Oxide Ink.
