I fancied doing a bit of crafting, but didn't want to make a card, so made this ATC (Artist Trading Card). It's just two and half by three and a half inches, so a small area to work with.
I started by using a blending brush with "Pink Peony" Archival Ink, blending from the edges towards the middle, so that the edges were darker than the central area.
I then used the Paperartsy "JOFY JM11" red rubber stamp with Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the text/flower image.
I coloured the berries with a Posca Pen, colouring the leaves with two shades of Derwent Inktense pencils, applied with a brush.
I used "Plum" Archival Ink through the Funky Fossil "Abstract Bamboo Stencil", using the same ink to darken the edges of the ATC. I then used "Nocturne" on the very edge to make the colours pop.
Next, I lay the Funky Fossil "Celebrations Stencil" over the ATC and applied "Blue Bird" Archival Ink through the dots, fading from left to right. I then used a fine tipped pen to draw around the circles for definition.
Beautiful Sam
