Artist Trading Cards

Here is the video slideshow of my latest atcs. They came as a random burst of creativity-I completely let go and just went with whatever happened. I used various inking techniques and products mostly from Ranger Ink. I hope you like them.

Kenny K Copic Card Instructions

As promised, here are the instructions to the Kenny K. card I posted last week.

First Copic Card Since Certification Class

This is the inside. Stamps by Tim Holtz.

ATC

Here is an ATC I made using mica gloss paint. I randomly applied various colors to my card base with a sponge. I stamped the image using black archival ink by Ranger. It was then embossed with clear embossing powder. I gently bent the card to produce the cracked effect. Dew Drops were added to embellish. I need to make ATCs more often. The problem is that I work intuitively-most of my time is spent thinking! But once I get an idea, I work fairly quickly.

Domino Pendant

This is a domino pendant I made using alcohol ink from Ranger. The ink was applied using a felt applicator. The sides were painted with a metallic paint pen. Rock Candy by Ranger was placed on top. I really like the effect this had on the pendant. It is protected with a glue sealant. A sterling silver bale was attached.

Art Gift Tags

Are you giving an extra special gift to that certain someone? A new car? House keys? (I think big!) Then why not present it in an art tag that is also a keepsake within itself? These are handmade gift tags with envelopes attached to the backing to hold money, keys, or anything small your heart desires. Most products used are by Ranger and Tim Holtz.
