Artist Trading Cards by Jenn Engle

Hello Again! Today I have a very simple ATC to share with you. This card came together very quickly, as the background is a mop-up card from a previous project and the leaves were already colorized when I went on an acetate stamping binge! Haha. I'm telling you, the Viva Las VegaStamps! are made for acetate stamping. 

 

I stamped "Whimsical Leaf" several times with black Staz-On ink on acetate. Then, I colorized them with a variety of green alcohol inks, alcohol markers (like copics), and distress paint.

I just had to use the "Her Wings Were Made" sentiment because the leaves are definitely a bold pattern!

The background card is made from Distress Stain Sprays and I stamped over that with a few of my favorite VLVS Background Stamps, "Writing Circles Background" and "Mesh Texture".

SUPPLIES USED:
Distress Spray Stain in Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch
Archival Ink in "Watering Can"
"Writing Circles Background"
 "Mesh Texture"
"Her Wings Were Made"
"Whimsical Leaf"
Heidi Swapp Ink in Teal & Navy
Tim Holtz Distress Tool
Distress Ink in "Peacock Feathers"
Fabri-Tac Adhesive

Thanks so much for looking!

Hello Tiffany back again with one more project I designed. My goal is to have an online workshop (my very first) soon and it will be on painting purses and wallets.

Do not limit your creativity to just paper or canvas. There is so much else out there you can paint and recycle. I love to go to the thrift store and find things to recycle and see how paint works on them.

This project I used a canvas wallet and layer upon layer built it up with using theses stamps with ink and paint. Yes its ok to use your stamps with acrylic paints just make sure that you clean them as soon as you are through using them.

The stamps that I used added fantastic elements to the piece. Thanks so much for checking out my project and check on my blog to see when the class will be posted.
