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 printing, stamping, 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

Post 161: Congratulations: Baby Card

Hi Friends !

I'd like to share a Baby Card today :) and also wish Kylie and her family a huge congrats on this blessing. This is an A2 size top folding card. I've kept the color scheme with pinks because as Kylie said everyone at her place think it is going to be a baby girl :) how cute is that? so I've kept the colors as hues of pink and added a vintagy look with some hints of browns. 

Synopsis of the Process:

First I die cut iris cardstock using stitched rectangle and square dies. Then stamped the background in pink and then stamped images and sentiment from various stamp sets using onyx black ink. Then using 2 pink distress inks blended the colors onto the die cuts. On the horizontal paper strip, I created a flowery pattern paper by stamping flowers from the Verve Poppy Birthday stamp in 2 pink shades of distress ink and a grey ink. Then distressed this panel with vintage photo distress ink. I also distressed the big background panel lightly with vintage photo distress ink. Then adhered all the die cuts to the card and adhered the card panel to the card base. In the end, added the bow, heart button and tied a hemp twine through the button holes.  

List of Supplies:

Verve Stamp- Emery Plain Jane (baby elephant)

Verve Stamp- Poppy Birthday (to create flowery pattern paper)

Happy Little Stampers Stamp-  Doodled Flowers (congrats sentiment)

Peek-a-Boo Designs Stamp- Little Wonder (stork and rattle images)

Heartfelt Creations Rubber Stamp- Sweet Lullaby Background (background)

Mini Distress Inkpads- picked raspberry, victorian velvet and vintage photo

Ranger's round blending tool and foam

Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangle and Square Dies

Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad

Heart Shape Wooden Button

Hemp Twine

Pink Bow

Tombow Mono Multi Glue

Iris Cardstock 250 gsm

Ranger's Dye Inkpad- Pink Gumball 

Memento Inkpad- London Fog

Post 120: Masculine Birthday Card

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a masuline themed birthday card today.

This is a top folding A2 size card. I added the panel in a lopsided tilted way to add interest, wanted it to look like office documents hence, added the 3 paper clips at the top. There are 3 colors here besides the neutrals- red, grey and blue. I distressed the edges of the panel to give it a hand torn look and added some stitch lines with a fine point black sharpie. The pattern papers used here are from The Gentleman collection by Papericious. I've used a red button to accent the banner. The sentiment is from Verve stamps and is die cut with a Gina Marie Designs stitched rectangle die. The die cut sentiment is from the Sizzix Tim Holtz Celebration Script words die set, I've colored it partially with black soot distress ink.  

List of Supplies:

1. The Gentleman Paper Pack by Papericious 

2. Verve stamps- Lucky Day Digi stamp 

3. Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles Die Set

4. Sizzix Tim Holtz Celebration Script words die set

5. Paper Clips

6. Tissue Tape

7. Tombow Mono Multi Glue

8. Iris Cardstock 250 gsm

9. Black Sharpie Fine Point

10. Ranger's blending tool and foam
