Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Garden Elements - TE30" Wren Artist Trading Card

 

This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC), for the day.  I've used the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Garden Elements TE30" stamp set across this card.

Stamping the flower in Versafine Clair "Carrot Orange" and "Avocado" shades of ink and the wren and sentiment in "Acorn" brown ink.  I edged the card in the same brown ink too.

For the background colour, I used "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Ink applied with a paint brush, adding gold coloured dots over the top of the blue.  I painted the flower and wren using Derwent Inktense pencisl adding touches of a 2B pencil and gold coloured gel pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "A Promise of tomorrow - TE63" Christmas Card

 

I'm not sure if it is too early for the "C" word, but here's a Christmas card I made this morning.

I started by masking off a circle and filling it with two shades of Ranger Archival Inks, using "Sunflower" at the top and blending into a darker shade "Tea Rose" at the bottom.  

In the middle of the large circle, using Versafine Clair "Chianti" a deep red coloured ink, I stamped the large star, then stamped the two smaller stars in the same ink.  The stars are part of the Tracy Evans Designs "A Promise of Tomorrow - TE63" stamp set. I then stamped the two smaller stars. I edged the large circle in black pen then drew round a couple of lids in black pen for the smaller circles.

Masking off the star, with a piece of paper, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the holly branches and the little birds in the small circles.  These are also part of the "A Promise of Tomorrow - TE63" stamp set.

Across the middle of the star, I stamped the "Peace & Joy" sentiment, which is part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Stripped Back Christmas Sentiment" stamp set, also stamped in Versafine Clair "Ncoturne" black ink.

Within the central star I added touches of gold coloured gel pen.  I also added little splatters of black and gold ink aorund the holly, finally adding some dots to the edge of the medium sized circle.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "One of a kine - TE54" Artist Trading Card

I'm late in the day with my Artist Trading Card (ATC), so here it it.

I started with a piece of grey card by rouding the corners.  I then placed the Tracy Evans Boutique Dsigns "Snippet Stencil Leaf - SS32) over the top of the card and applied "Yellow Ochre" Pan Pastel through the stencil.

Once the stencil was lifted, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the snowdrops and the sentiment, which are both part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "One of a kind - TE54" stamp set. I used the same ink for the edges of the ATC.

I then used a black pen to go round the edge of the leaf and a gold coloured gel pen to draw extra detail on the leaf.  Around the edge of the leaf, I used an orange and a white Posca Pen to add dots to the background, circling some of the orange dots in  a black fine liner pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Explore Nature - TE67" Nigella Card

 

A quick early morning make and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  Using grey coloured card for the base, I used Versaifne Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the nigella plant, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Explore Nature - TE67" stamp set.  I coloured the image and made a moon in the background using Van Goch Pastel pencils.

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

 

A quick play in the craft room this evening making this Artist Trading Card (ATC).

I've used a small piece of lightly coloured yellow and blue Brusho painted background for the base, stamping the large dandelion from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Love Grows Here - TE65" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink. I inked the edges of the card in the same ink.

I've added extra yelllow to the background using Elements "Lemon Drop" ink, applied with a cotton bud.  I then used Versafine Clair "Ncoturne" black ink to stamp the "Quiet Moments" sentiment, which is part of the Tracy Evans "One of a kind - TE54" stamp set.  I used the same ink and stamp set for the random areas of text on the card.  Finally, adding extra detail with a silver glitter pen, a white gel pen and a black fine liner pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Fern" Artist Trading Card

Another Artist Trading Card (ATC) from me today.  I've used a light covering of "Periwinkle" Ranger Artchival Ink for the background colour.  I have then used "Vivd Chartreuse" Ranger Archival ink through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Snippet Stencil - Fronds", multi positioned to cover most of the surface.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink I stamped the fern fronds, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Special Delivery - TE64" stamp set.  I used a wild flower from the Tracy Evans "Create a garden - TE66" stamp set, stamped in the same ink.

In the bottom right hand corner, I added a snail, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Love grows here - TE65" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the "Flora and fauna" sentiment, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Special Delivery - TE64" stamp set.  I used the same ink to edge the ATC.  I then added touches of a gold coloured gel pen to the fern and snail and a white Posca Pen to the wild flowers.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Special Delivery" Artist Trading Card

When you can't sleep... craft!  It's another middle of the night make from me, with this Artist Trading Card (ATC).

Starting with a white piece of card, I used Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink to stamp part of the Tracy Evans "Background Elements - TE11" stamp I then lighty coated the surface of the card using Versafine Clair "Arctic" a light blue coloured ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink to stamp the flowers on the right hand side and the word "Shine", inking the edge of the card in the same ink.  I then used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" turquoise coloured ink to stamp the special delivery sign and the bubbles,  All of these stamped elements are part of one of the new stamp sets by Tracy Evans, it's called "Special Delivery - TE64".

Finally, I used a blending brush to add more colour to the edges of the card using more Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.  I added some white Posca Pen to the bubbles, a white gel pen to the flowers and a yellow Posca Pen to the middle of the flowers.  Then added a tied piece of string round the middle of the card (recycled from the packaging of the Tracy Evans order of stamps I had received).
