BANKSY ATC's by Fran Chalmers

Hello again everyone!

Today I have made some ATC's featuring Banksy stamps (which I love).


 I had all the gelli plate backgrounds in my stash, so cut them to 3.5" x 2.5" size.

For the first ATC, I stamped the image and then cut out the zebra and the woman.  I stamped the image onto the card so I wouldn't have to cut out the stripes.



I added washi tape to add interest to the finished ATC.



For the second ATC, I edged the card with blue to frame it, then stamped the image in black.  I added washi tape to add interest.



With the third ATC, I edged it with purple and stamped the image onto the ATC, and then thick paper so the sign is left white.  I cut it out and added washi tape to finish it off.



I coloured in his Peace necklace with gold glitter pen to add a bit of interest too.



Hope you like them :) See you next time.

Stamps Used:

Banksy Zebra Washing 20297

Banksy Girl Watering TV Antennae 19603

Banksy Rat Protester 19489

Other Items Used:

Elements Inks in Blue Lagoon and Violet Chalk

Copic Pens

Assorted Washi tape

Gold glitter pen

Forecast...... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello Everyone!

This week I made an art tag...They are fun to do and I keep them on a book ring so I can look back at them later.



So for this tag, I did the background starting with the smooshing technique-
I use a sheet of glass to put my inks on. I used the disstress oxide inks for this.


put the ink on the glass, spread with my finger and then spritz with some water. Then take the tag and smoosh down to pick up ink. repeat until happy. Wipe glass clean.
Let tag dry or dry with heat tool. Then I put speckled egg ink on glass and spread with my finger again. I then stamped the news print background onto the tag. dry. After that I took the textured background stamp and did the the same with Picked raspberry.

While that all dried, I stamped and cut out the lady and  painted her. I used the Disstress spray stains for this. spray on glass and use as watercolor. I also used some twinkling H2Os . Dry and then used double stick tape and put her on the tag.


I used some "small talk" stickers and cut them apart to fit on the tag. I also painted them . I then added some shadow below the woman. Added a bit more water to blend the shadow better...and that is it! 
Fun small art. In nice spring colors... Since its still winter here for now..yuk.
Hope you enjoyed~ stay crafty!!

Life is Beautiful by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I've made a card  to say that Life is Beautiful! I hope you  like it.


I made the background  by smooshing distress inks in Peacock Feathers, Dried Marigold and Spiced Marmalade on a piece of card.  I dried between each layer so the colours didn't go too muddy.


 I then used a gold glitter pen to draw around some of the shapes that the ink had made.


I used a mask with musical notes on, with distress ink in Lucky Clover.


I stamped out the main image and cut it out.  I did try colouring the whole image, but it didn't really work and got a bit lost in the background, so I decided to keep her monochrome apart from a red lip.


I stamed the sentiment and decided to cut it up so I could place it differently on the card.


Lastly, I drew round the edges with a fine black liner, then layered the card onto black card, and then onto cream card.


Hope you enjoyed this card.  See you next time!
