Hello and welcome to my corner of the Internet!
Here I am again with another ATC Card Series I created recently for a swap at Swap-bot.com. As I mentioned before I really enjoy making this little works of art as I like to call them.
These cards were done with one my favorite stamp set by Jane Davenport, “Jane’s Girls” which has 4 girls face stamps that work for all kind of projects.
Using different stamps to add texture without the bulk is a favorite technique of mine in order to keep these cards flat and easy to mail. I used distress oxide inks for the background color and with some markers I added some highlights and shadows to the image.
The images were stamped with black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to e images permanent and not run the risk of smudging the black ink while adding more elements to the card.
I love to add words and phrases to my ATCs inspire and motive the person I’m sending them to and I accomplish this by using word stickers or my trusty “Smith Corona” typewriter I got at a flea market for $20!!!
Well I hope these card inspire you try doing some ATC and join a swap. ATC’s can really open you to try new techniques and a express your creativity in a small way!
Thank you for stopping by and always take care of your creative soul!
