A set of Artist Trading Cards made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum in the theme of Autumn .....
The bases were cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose some red printed paper and stamped this with an outline tree stamp in Versafine black ink. This was cut to size and applied to the bases.
Next I sprayed a piece of watercolour paper with orange, yellow and green spay inks and allowed this to dry. I then die-cut some open leaves from this paper. Three leaves were then applied on each background as shown. Some red adhesive gems were added to each ATC.
I then arranged some self adhesive letters to spell 'AUT' on a black background and trimmed out. Both these and the ATC's were edged in metallic gold ink. The 'AUT' added as shown to finish the ATC's ....

I die-cut the bases from re-cycled food packaging to 2.5 inches in diameter. I then cut some thin white card to the same size. This was then coloured with mic loaded paints with a brush. Once dry the painted circles were added to the bases.
I then stamped each Coin with a squiggly flower stamp in Versafine black ink, colouring the flower with violet Posca pen.
Each Coin was then embellished with three metallic gold cabochons to finish .....

I cut a 4 x 4 inch square from white card and applied a whole lot of self adhesive stickers over it, filling any small gaps with Posca pen. This was then cut into 4 2 x 2 inch squares.
The squares were then stamped centrally using a floral stamp from Crafty Individuals in Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide. They were then decorated with black dots in Posca pen for stamens and Stickles glitter glue to finish ....

The base was cut from white card to 2.5 x 3.5 inches. I then cut an embossed label and applied this to the base. I chose a Crafty Indivduals stamp of two girls and stamped on white card in Versafine black ink which was heat embossed with clear embossing powder before trimming out. I then chose a stamp with the word 'friendship' and stamped this in more Versafine black ink before trimming and edging in black.
The girls were applied on foam pads as shown and the word added. The ATC was edged in black ink to frame& finish.
The holder was die-cut (Sizzix Tim Holtz) from white card and assembled to house the ATC. Hope my swap partner likes it !
