My First Artist Trading Card!

-
I'm so excited to share my very first Artist Trading Card with you!  As part of the Elizabeth Craft Art Journal Design Team I am trying something new.  I really enjoyed creating this adorable little card.  ATC's are 2.5" x 3.5" so they are not very big but they can hold so much wonderful art!


I started this card with watercolour paper and I used watercolours to create the background.  I tried a watermarking technique which worked but is basically covered up on the finished card.  Then I added some paste through a stencil.  I added some fun glitter paste to the butterfly diecuts and then assembled it all together.

You can see exactly how I created this card in my YouTube process video.



You can shop for ECD products here and if you use my link you can save 10% on a $25 purchase using my discount code HEATHERSPAPERPLAYROOM

Be sure to stayed tuned next week to see the rest of this ATC set.

Journal Together 2024 February Prompt

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a little Art Journal page that I made for the Elizabeth Crafts, Journal Together 2024 February prompt.   The prompt this month (February) is WOODGRAIN.   I created this page using papers from the Grungy Wood collection. All of the dies and stamps are from the new Art Journal Elements collection by Devid Roodenburg. I had some Liquid Acrylics from Finnabair in my stash which I used for the first time to add splatters and  to create the drips on the paper I cut the base using the die from the 2111 Labels, Tags & More set and scored it to fit into my Cork Art Journal. After cutting one end of the page with the floral border die, I created the pocket and added the floral border stamp on top. This pocket holds a simple ATC which can be for journaling or maybe a picture. I added transparent matt texture paste to the cover using the crackle stencil from the new collection. Then I ran some blue ink over the page with my blending brush ...
