Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Framed Delights TE58" Anniversary Card

A clean and simple anniversary card using the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Framed Delights Te58" stamp set for the branch wreath stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn and Pinecone brown ink. I then used a cotton bud with "Avocado" green Versafine Clair ink to create the leaves.

I used the birds from the Tracy Evans Botuique Designs "A Myriad Of Designs TE44" stamp set with Versafine Clair "Pinecone", a dark brown ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the anniversary greeting which is part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Stripped Back Sentiment" stamp set.

Finally, I added the hearts, which are part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Quirky Birds TE10" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Baby Pink" ink.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Numeral Cats TE36" Cats and the wall Artist Trading Card

Here's my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I used a background from my stash, which I think had been made on a gel plate many years ago.

I positioned the Tracy Evans Boutique Design "Wall Stencil ST9" about a quarter of the way down the ATC.  Then used three shades of Ranger Archival Inks, using Watering Can, Orange Blossom and Fern Green. I then added extra depth of colour using Van Goch Pastel Pencils. I went round the edge of the card using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and "Morning Mist" grey ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the cat looking over the wall and the full size lady cat.  I highlighted areas with a white gel pen, adding extra whiskers to the male cat looking over the wall at the female.  Finally, I added some hearts between the two cats.  The hearts are part of the Tracy Evans "Quirky Birds TE10" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink,

Tracy Evans "Quirky Birds TE10" Artist Trading Card

Rummaging through my file of prepared backgrounds, I found a piece of a gel press I'd made years ago.  The piece was just big enough for an Artist Trading Card (ATC), so I decided to use that for my base today.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink for the stamping.  Stamping the bird, part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Quirky Birds TE10" stamp set.  I then drew a circle round a lid in black pen and stamped the hearts and "tweet" sentiment also part of the same stamp set.

I used some black ink remaing on a blending brush with a torn edge of a piece of paper to create the grounding.  Then used a black and a pink Posca pen to add more dots around the bird and to colour in the hearts.

TRacy Evans "Quirky Birds - TE10" Artist Trading Card

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day, using three Tracy Evans Boutique Designs stamp sets.

I stamped the Tracy Evans "Quirky Bird - TE10" and the word "Tweet" from the same set in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. I then used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the line of clocks from the Tracy Evans "Wilderness - TE52" stamp set and the line with dots from the Tracy Evans "Berries - TE55" stamp set.

I gave a wash of an aqua coloured water colour paint and then used a pink water colour paint on the bird. I needed it to be more vibrant so used a neon pink Posca Pen to add tiny dots to the bird to lift the colour.  Finally, adding some more black dots and a loose stitching detail round the edge using a black fine liner 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.

Finally adding some dots of black Posca Pen around the main image.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs - Snowdrop Heart

 

I've been playing with my Tracy Evans Boutique Design stamps and stencils making this card.

I started by sprizing the white card with water then sprinkling some "Gamboge" Brusho paint granules over the wet area.  I lightly spritzed the card again and used my hand held puffer tool to spread the paint colour outwards.  I used a heat gun to dry the surface.

I placed the Tracy Evans "Snippet Stencil Heart - SS12" on to the card, then stamped through the aperture using the Tracy Evans "Background Elements Stamp - TE11" with "Strawberry" Versafine Clair ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the snowdrop, which is part of the Tracey Evans "Natures Beauty Stamp Set - TE31",  I used the same ink to stamp the two tiny hearts, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Quirky Birds Stamp Set - TE12". Finally adding touches of gold coloured pen across the surface of the card.
