Fun ATC’s with inky backgrounds!

Oct 22

Hi everyone, Heather here to share some fun Artist Trading Cards I created with paper I printed on my Gelli plate.

Step 1: I started by creating the paper on plain photocopy paper with some leaves from my backyard. You can watch the video below to see how I printed the paper using my Gelli plate.

Step 2: Once my paper was fully dried, I cut out the mat layer with the Art Journal specials die and the base from some copper cardstock.

Step 3: I always like to make sets of ATC`s for trading so I decided to make 4 cards.

Step 4: I attached the mat layers to the bases and was sure to stamp my ATC label before decorating the cards! I used the stamp from CS362 Classic ATC for this.

Step 5: Next I die cut some embellishments from the copper card stock using some dies from the Journal Sleeves Fillers 1 set.

Step 6: No to attach my embellishments onto each card.

Step 7: I decided to create some little stamp embellishments, so I grabbed the Planner Essentials Postage Stamps page and cut out a piece of Coffee Dyed paper.

Step 8: I tore the pieces apart, stamped them with images from CS352 Travel & Postage and ink distress the edges. Then I added them to my cards.

Have lots of crafty fun creating your own ATC’s!
