Alice in Wonderland - Artist Trading Cards

Hi my dear Viva Las Vegastamps Friends!

I am such a big fan of the lovely Alice in Wonderland stamps. So today I'd like to share with you three Alice in Wonderland ATCs.

I used Distress Inks for the background and color pencils for my images. But I don't want to talk so much today, because I made a short video for you to see how these are done. Have fun watching!

Here are some more detailed images:

The little mushroom on the bottom right is from a border die by Noor! Design. I cut it apart and colored it with watercolor pencils. The white dots are made with a uniPOSCA marker.

Thank you for stopping by today, Susanne.

Hi everyone! It's Susanne today and I'd like to give you some more inspiration for this month's challenge. Here is the our monthly challenge inspiration:

I created a mixed media Artist Trading Card.

I used some watercolor paper and stamped parts of the "Dictionary Page"  stamp with VersaMark Ink. Now I colored the whole background with black PanPastels. The pigments of the pastels stick to the VersaMark Ink. Together with the watercolor texture the result is a nice background to work on.
Next step was stamping the "Film Strip" with jet black Archival Ink. I added also two butterflies from the "Butterfly Specimens" stamp. I always inked up only one buttefly by masking the adjacent with washi tape. I added some red to the film strip, just to bring out the black and white theme.
Now it was time to add some gesso to highlight the area where I wanted to place the words. I used the "Your Time As A Caterpillar" sentiment. I missed a border arround the ATC so I added some lace with the "Lace Background" stamp and blacked the edges with a black Neocolor crayon.
To finish it up I used a white uniPOSCA marker as well as a black Pitt Artist Pen and did some doodling.

Thanks for stopping by today, Susanne.
