Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Poinsettia TE20" Artist Trading Card



This is my Artist Trading Card for the day.  On a plain white card I covered 3/4 of it with "Prickly Pear" Ranger Archival Ink.  I then lay the Tracy Evans "Flurry TE20" stencil over the top and applied a white texture paste through the stenci.  Sadly as I lifted the stencil away, I managed to drop it on to the surface, so the "flurry flakes" are far more textural than they should have been!

On a plain white card, using Versafine Clair "Strawberry" red ink, I stamped the word and painsettia flower, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Poinsettia TE20" stamp set. I coloured it using a paint brush to apply "Festive Berries" Distress Oxide Ink.  I also used a yellow Posca Pen too.  I fussy cut the flowers and applied to the card, then cut and glued the word into position.

Tracy Evans "Feed Your Soul TE57" Pansy and Fern Artist Trading Card



This is my second Artist Trading Card (ATC) using the fabulous pansy stamp from Tracy Evans Boutique Designs.

In the background, I used some lilac/purple coloured ink left on my blending brush through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Tiles SS37 Stencil".  Deliberately making the colour heavier fading the colour out to the left and the top of the card.

Using Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink, I stamped the ferns by Tracy Evans "Fern TE3" stamp set.  On a white piece of card, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the pansy, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Feed Your Soul - TE57" stamp set.  I coloured the pansy with Derwent Inktense water colour pencils, fussy cut the shape and glued into position.  Finally, I added three dots of white Ranger Enamel Accents and some touches of a black fine liner pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "On the wild side TE50" Toadstools Artist Trading Card



This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I used a piece of green cardstock for the base.  Then stamped the heart of branches from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Framed Delights - TE58" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Portobello" mid brown coloured ink.

Next, I stamped the toadstools, part of the Tracy Evans "On the wild side TE50" stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I stamped the grasses/wild flowers from the same stamp set using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  

I used Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink to create the landscape and to darken the edges of the card.  to colour the ATC, I used a red Posca Pen, a white and gold coloured gel pens and a black fine liner pen, I also used touches of Van Goch Pastel Pencils too.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Feed Your Soul TE57" Pansies Artist Trading Card



Another Artist Trading Card (ATC) from me, this time, I have used "Lost Shadow" Distress Ink through the Tracy Evans "Tiles SS37 Stencil" for the background design.

I've used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, to stamp the pansies, part of the Tracy Evans "Feed Your Soul - TE57" stamp set, on to a piece of white card.  I have coloured them using Derwent Inktense water colour pencils, with touches of a black fine liner.  I fussy cut the flowers and glued them into position on the ATC.  I added a little bit of shadow using a pencil.  Then added dots of yellow and black Posca Pen around the flowers.  Finally, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the word "Pansy"

Tracy Evans "Winter DelightsTE23" Wilderness Artist Trading Card



This is my Artist Trading Card for the day.  In the background on the right hand side, I daubed "Salvaged Patina" Distress Oxide Ink.  Once dry, I used Versafine Clair "Morning MIst" grey ink to stamp the horizontal trees, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Feed Your Soul - TE57" stamp set.

I then used Versafine Clair "Rain Forest", a dark green ink to stamp the vertical tree, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Winter Delights - TE23" stamp set.  I used the same ink to create the landscape with the torn edg eof a piece of paper.  I also used "Rain Forest" to stamp the word "Wilderness" which is part of the Tracy Evans "On The Wild Side - TE50" stamp set.
