Tracy Evans Boiutique Designs "Love Grows Here TE65" Dandelion Artist Trading Card

 

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day. I have used a piece of gel plate print for the background.  I used Versafine Clair "Wisteria Purple" ink through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Tile Stencil S37". 

I then used Versaifne Clair "Fantasia" purple ink to stamp the dandelion head, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Love Grows Here TE65" stamp set. I created a cloud over the dandelion head by using a finger dabber with Hero Arts "Unicorn White" Pigment Ink.  Once dry, I used a white pastel pencil to increase the dreamy cloud look of the dandelion head, then topped each bit with a white Posca Pen, using a white gel pen for the stem.

Finally, I used a purple Posca Pen on the edges of the ATC and a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "wishful".

I then painted the background using two shades of Distress Oxide Ink with a paint brush.  The colours I used are:  Weathered Wood and Spiced Marmalade.  I painted it to give a very mottked look to the background. Once dry, I then used "Cornflower Blue" Ranger Archival ink through the Tracy Evans "Tiles SS37 stencil either side of the large bauble.
