Spring ......

A set of ATC's (Artist Trading Cards] made for a swap in UK Stampers Forum in the theme of 'Spring Colours'.......

The bases were cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches from re-cycled food packaging. I chose some background paper and trimmed to the same size.

I then die-cut three flower spikes (Tim Holtz/Sizzix Wildflower) from watercolour card and coloured this with watercolours before applying to the paper. The background was then applied to the bases.

I stamped some flowers in yellow Archival ink and added the stamens with Posca pen. I then added some yellow adhesive pearls to each card and finished by edging with orange Posca pen ......

Made a set of Artist Trading Coins for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ........

I die-cut the bases from re-cycled food packaging to 2.5 inches diameter. I then covered some white card with strips of co-ordinating Washi tape which was then die-cut to the same size a s a base.

I then added some black Gesso applied with a palette knife through a stencil. Allowing the Gesso to dry completely.

I then chose an old 'Phrenology' stamp from 'A Stamp In The Hand' and stamped with blue memento ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  These were trimmed out and added with hot glue to the centre of each coin.

Each of the Coins was then edged with metallic gold marker to finish.....
