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 "Feed Your Soul - TE57" Birdhouse Artist Trading Card



This is my last Artist Trading Card (ATC), make of the day. I used a cream coloured piece of card for the background, applying Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Tiles SS37" stencil, I deliberately only coloured two thirds of the stencil so that the left hand side of the card was less cluttered.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the trees and birdhouse, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Feed Your Soul - TE57" stamp set.  I stamped the birdhouse again on white card.  I used a mixture of Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a black fine liner pen to colour the trees and the birdhouse.  I fussy cut the bird house on the white card and glued it into position.  Finally, `i added a little bird, which is part of the Tracy Evans "A Promise Of Tomorrow - TE63" stamp set, stamped in Versaifne Clair "Portabello" brown ink, with added touches of pastel pencil

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "A Promise Of Tomorrow - Te63" Holly Artist Trading Card


 

Another Artist Trading Card (ATC) for me today with a hint of Christmas to it.

I lightly covered a white piece of card with "Tea Dye" Distress Ink to give it an aged look. I then used the holly stamps from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "A Promise Of Tomorrow - TE63" stamp set, stamping in frist and second generation, using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane", a mid green coloured ink.

I then inked the edges of the card using "Rain Forest" Versafien Clair ink.  This is a brighter shade of green, even though it is acrually darker in colour.  I coloured the holly berries with a red Posca Pen.  I then outlined the leaves and the berries using a black fine liner pen.  

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Pinecone" a mid to dark coloured brown ink to stamp the bird on a branch, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Create A Garden - TE66" stamp set. I used Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a black fine liner pen for definition and then added touches of white gel pen to the berries, bid and branch.
