The Prehistoric ATC


The following is of an ATC (Artist Trading Card) that I made for a swap group I'm involved with at work. I used standard white cardstock, D.O.T.S. Rubber stamps, Stazon Ink, Distress Ink by Tim Hotlz, and Oil Pastels. I was able to make the card in about 15 mins. just decided to speed up the video so it wouldn't take so long! lol... In this project I used masks, where a piece of paper is used to cover an image while other work is done then it is removed to revel the image underneath. This helps to make the image look like it is in the background.. I liked using the Oil Pastels, these blended so nicely. I plan to use these more in other art. If you have questions please feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks for visiting.. Have a blessed day!

    Thanks for sharing your techniques! Although I don't make cards this way, it's very inspiring to me.

    BTW, you entered my giveaway and mentioned about having yoyo brooches! Yes, I do have them!! They are centered by this beautiful luminous button which is just so elegant!

4 Challenge Eyelets - So Blessed Art

The challenge for this art was to use eyelets. Even though you may not be able to see them I used two. lol.. Both are in the oval chipboard and are lavender in color. In this piece I created a 6 by 6 inch art using scrapbook papers, chipboard, Prima flowers, Adirondack Color wash and rubber stamps. Included in this art is one of my handmade butterflies - made out of polymer clay. It took about 35 minutes to make this art piece, once I had all of the materials gathered. My recipe for glimmer mist: Future Floor Polish and Pearl Ex I mix in an old spray bottle and put in about a teaspoon of Pearl Ex and test how it looks, if it needs more shimmer I add more Pearl Ex. lol This time I decided to make a kit of the items I used in this art and offer it for sale. In the Kit: Two 6 inch by 6 inch Background papers - Treasure and Plaid Two 6 by 6 Cardstock papers - Pink and Purple One cardstock 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 - Exact Ice Three Cream Prima Flowers One 6 by 6 Mat Board One 5.95 inch by 5.95 inch c
