Today Tammy has challenged us to use our Kitchen Sink Stamps to create an Artist Trading Card and use it to make a card. An ATC is 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches in size. They are all the rage and oh so much fun!!
I created my ATC using Nesting Dolls. The doll was stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black on a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 rectangle of US White paper and then colored with Copic Markers. Love was stamped in Pixie Pink. I sponged the edges of the card with Tempting Turqouise and attached the antique embroderied ribbon with red line sticky tape. The pink grosgrain was wrapped around and tied with a bow before gluing to the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Pixie Pink ATC.
I used a white core black cardstock and the Floral Fantasy embossing folder by Cuttlebug to create the textured background. I sanded the surface before adding the stamped turquoise panel and the ATC.

ReplyDeleteLove your ATC and finished card! It's gorgeous! Thanks for your comment, but just so you know, the pansies were masked, not cut out and layered. :) My wording on my blog wasn't right. Love your designs and love all the beautiful stamps you create!
