Quote Artist Trading Cards with Jenn Engle

Hey Everyone! I have a trio of Artist Trading Cards to share today. I was looking thru my stamps and realized there are so many great quote stamps by VLVS that they shine all on their own. So, I decided to showcase a few of my faves on ATCs.

To see exactly how I made them, check out the video at the end of this post.

STAMPS USED:

"Your Time as a Caterpillar"

"I Believe In by Cat Kerr"

"Art is Anything"

"Numbers Set"

"Mesh Texture"

I started out with 3 cards cut to 2.5" x 3.5" that already had some modeling paste thru a text stencil on the cards. I adhered some Sewing Pattern tissue paper to my cards with Collage Pauge Matte.

 Next, I took 3 colors of Fluid Acrylic paint and applied them to my cards. Once that was dry, I did some stamping with Mesh Texture and Numbers Set. Then, I scraped some gesso (white paint works, too) around my cards using a palate knife.

The last step was to add my quote stamps. I stamped them out, cut them apart, then inked all the edges with a black ink pad to help them stand out. I splattered some yellow paint all over and that's it!

July Challenge Inspiration (+ Time2Stamp video) with Cheetarah

Hi everyone!

It's Cheetarah here and I've got something fun to share with you today. It's mid month so time for some July challenge inspiration and this is our current challenge inspiration board.

It's all about summer this board and from this glorious image I have chosen the beautiful background color, dots and script text. Also with summer holidays coming around, I always send post cards to people whom I wish were with me. That is what prompted to make me this Index card.

I have used some yummy new distress oxides for this background and lush VLVS! that have some script elements in them. A list of supplies can be found at the bottom of this post. I have filmed the process and hope you enjoy watching it :)

Hope this has inspired you to join our challenge this month :)

Art Journal Page - "Dreamers Only" by Jenn Engle

Today I have an art journal page with process video to share. I am just obsessed with this entire new plate of stamps by Cat Kerr.  I got these new stamps and was so inspired that my head was spinning with ideas and I didn't know where to start. Don't you love when that happens?!
