Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Magnolia TE43" Double Magnolia Card

 

A relatively clean and simple design after the busy grungy mistake from last night.

In the backgground, I have used the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Magnolia ST2 stencil" with two shades of Ranger Archival Ink, using "Vivid Chartreuse" and "Fern Green" colours of ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the magnolia using the Tracty Evans "Magnolia TE43" stamp set.  In the top left and the bottom right, I stamped the text, in Versafine Clair "Morning MIst" grey ink in second generation stamping.  I then stamped the word "Magnolia" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  Both the word and the text are part of the "Magnolia TE43" stamp set.

I added some depth of colour to the stencilled area by using a blue coloured pastel pencil and a white gel pen.  I then added some black speckles of Posca Pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Special Delivery TE64" Flower on Brusho Artist Trading Card

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I have used a small piece of a Brusho paint background from my stash for the background colour.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist`' grey ink to stamp the flower, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs"Special Delivery TE64" stamp set.

On the left hand side, I multi stamped the text saying "Plant a gardem, and breathe new life into a space", using Versfine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink again.  The text is part of the Tracy Evans "Explore Nature TE67" stamp set.

I coloured the flower using Derwent Inktense pencils and a white gel pen.  Finally, adding the sentiment. also part of the "Explore Nature TE67" stamp set, stamped vertically in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

When things go wrong make

 

This is a "When things go wrong" make.  I created a beautiful background of two Distress Oxide inks,  using "Tea Dye" and "Peacock Feathers".  But then I dropped an ink pad in the middle of it, so it ended up a cover up make with grunge vibes.

I have used three Tracy Evans Boutique Designs Stamp Sets for this card:

TE61 Amongst the Flowers

TE64 Special Delivery

TE67 Explore Nature

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower TE59" Just For You Card

For this card, I used a three and a half inch square piece of whte card for the base, very loosely painting the left hand edge, about a quarter of the way across using "Peacock Feathers" Distress Oxide Ink.

Once dry, I used "Peacock Feathers" Distress Ink to stamp the Tracy Evans "Bubbles TE34" stamp.  Over-lapping some of painted area but extending tp about the two thirds way across the card.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink, I stamped the seed heads and the setiment of "Just For You", they are both part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "The Miracle Of A Flower TE59" stamp set.  Then on an off-cut of white card, I stamped the seed heads again, fussy cut the actual seed heads and glued into position.  Finally, adding some white highlights using a gel pen to the stems and then adding a few dots of black and white Posca Pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of the blue moon" Misty Witch Artist Trading Card

This is.my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I used a gel press background from my stash with blues and purples in it, so felt it suitable for halloween.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the witch, part of the Lavinia Stamps "Coven of the blue moon" stamp set, I deliberately faded the ink out towards the base of the skirt as I wanted a misty lool.  

I used a circle stencil to create the moon with a white pastel pencil.  I then used "Nocturne" ink again for stamping the branches from the Lavinai "Tree of courage" stamp set.  

I used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink to stamp the text on the left hand side of the ATC, the text is part of the Lavinia stamps "Witching Hour" verse.  I then used Hero Arts "Unicorn" white pigment ink, with a finger dabber to create the misty look at the base of the ATC.  Finally adding some coloured berries to the branches using a lilac and purple Posca Pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Artsy Alpha/Numbers TE16" with a star Artist Trading Card

Here's another Artist Trading Card (ATC).  The background blues and orange shades are from a clean up of my brayer, some years back.  Because the colour was so dark, I didn't get round to using it.  So today, I decided it had been hanging around for long enough.  Use it or bin it!  I opted to use it.

Using a Wow! Clear Embossing Ink Pad, I stamped the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Artsy Alphas/Numbers TE16 Stamp" on to the dark brayered background.  I then coated the stamped ink image with Wow! Rich Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.

On a piece of navy coloured card I stamped the large star from the Tracy Evans "A Promise Of Tomorrow TE63" stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I then coated the stamped image with Wow! Clear Gloss Embossing Powder and heat set.  Once dry, I fussy cut the star shape and glued onto a piece of card cut to the same shape to add a bit of dimension, I then glued the double layered star on to the Artist Trading Card.

I inked the edge of the ATC using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then added a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker to the middle of the star, saying "Create".

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Acorn Snippet Stencil SS28" Card

 

Another card made using Tracy Evans Boutique Designs stamps and stencils.

I used the Tracy Evans "Acorn Snippet Stencil SS28" with Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" a light brown coloured ink.  Then on the edges, I used a deeper shade of ink "Acorn" brown.

Within the acorn shape, I created a landscape, using the torn edge of a piece of paper with Versafine Clair "Fallen Leaves" a dark brown ink.  I stamped the trees, which are part of the Tracy Evans "On The Wild Side TE50" stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" Green ink.  I stamped the toadstool, from the same stamp and coloured it with Posca Pen and Derwent Inktense pencils.

I stamped the red squirrel, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Alpha Florals TE32" stamp set, in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown" ink, adding shading to the squireel usuing a white pastel pencil, a white gel pen and a black fine liner.

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink through the Tracy Evans "Flurry Snippet Stencil SS43".

I added more depth of colour to the ground using Derwent Inktense pencils and then stamped the sentiment "On The Wild Side" (part of the Tracy Evans stamp set of the same name), in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane".
