Post 171: Mixed Media ATCs- "She"

Hi folks :)

Hows your weekend been so far? I've been crafting a fair bit over the weekend :) I made a set of ATCs for the first time today. ATCs in case you don't know are Artist Trading Cards, these are small 2.5 by 3.5 inches in size and basically a snippet of an artist/crafter's style. The theme of today's ATCs is women, I wanted them to have an encouraging and motivating feel so I kept the titles open ended, "she is", "she can" and "she will". I recycled some sturdy packaging cardboard  to make the base of the ATCs.  I have used gelli printingstamping, stenciling, doodling and splatter on these. 

List of Supplies:

Stamping:
RubberDance Stamp (background flowers)
Inkadinkado Fairies Clear Stamp (Fairy)
Craftyscrappers- Being Traditional (Woman in saree)
So Suzy Stamps- Martini Lady (Lady with martini glass)
Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad
Acrylic Block

Media:
Camlin White Gesso
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens
Acrylic Colors by Folkarts (Plaid)
Camel Acrylic Colors

Texture and Embellishments:
Gauze
Vintage Butterfly buttons

Tools and other Supplies:
Fevicol Glue
GelliArts Gelli Print Plate
Sharpie Fine Tip Marker
Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers
Aqua Brush
Fan Brush
Packaging Cardboard
Harlequinn Design Stencil
Palette Design

Here are a couple of pictures of the process:
