Hello lovelies, time for another inspirational STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday post! For this Sunday´s reveal I created a set of artist trading cards with the theme “To live by”. There are plenty of layers on these and the color choices are very much out of my comfort zone too.
Here is what I made:
Remember the altered clothes tag I created a few weeks back? Remember me adding the residue ink from the Super Bubbles stencil onto a white paper strip? Well I used exactly that piece as my starting point for the ATC´s. Next I added a layer of Marigold Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels) on top. Since the yellow tone is lighter, the orange pattern still shows.
After the mist was dry, I took the Emanations stencil and some copper creative medium (Imagine Crafts) and applied a layer onto the upper part of the paper thru the stencil. I let the paste air dry.
I had some previously misted old book page scraps on my table and I decided to use those on the ATC´s. I layered them on top of each other leaving some of the stenciled image to show in between the lower and the upper part of the ATC´s. Finally I added some pink Chalkboard ink splatters (Polka Dot Pink by Tattered Angels) here and there for interest.
Next I took some cracle paste (by Stamperia) and applied a layer on each artist trading card thru the Floral Flutes stencil.
Then I just added some finishing touches: lace, twine, flowers, buttons, liquid pearls, some faux cross stitches with a black pen and a number sticker as well as a Tim Holtz sticker sentiment. Here is a close-up of one of the finished artist trading cards.
Now hop over to the STAMPlorations blog to see what my teamies have been up to and creating. Then I hope you find the time to play along with us on the June Mixed Media Challenge!!!
