Wild ......


Made an Artist Trading Card for a challenge over on Crafty Individuals Facebook Group page .........

The base is made from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose a printed card from Crafty Individuals and trimmed it down to fit the base. The card was edged in black ink.

I then took their stamp of two elephants (CI-562) and stamped in black Versafine ink on white card. This was then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Just one of the elephants was trimmed out and coloured with Gelli roll pens in purple and pink. Leaving some area uncoloured. I then added a wash of grey made using black soot Distress Ink.

The elephant was then added as shown. The words came from a magazine freeby from CI and were stamped in dark green Versafine Clair ink on white card which was again heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This was trimmed and edged in black ink before applying on foam pads as show to finish the ATC .....

Pinks & Browns .....

 


A set of Twinchies ( 2 x 2 inch decorated squares) made for a swap in UK Stampers Forum in the theme of 'Pinks & Browns' ...... they have a vintage look I think !

The bases were trimmed to size from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose some background paper in the colour theme and adhered this to the bases.

I then fussy cut some papers with flowers and edged with black ink before applying to the background. I then stamped some open dots and a flower in Archival sepia ink. The dots were infilled with some pink Posca pen along with the flowers.

The Twinchies were finished by edging in Memento rosebud ink along with some dots of pale pink glitter Nuvo drops .......
