Putting It Together

ATC, Artist Trading Card is a small card 2.5" x 3.5" that, like a business card, shows a bit of the artist's technique or craft. 


 I made this one on kraft cardstock with a sentiment from Unity Stamps embosses with a lavender sparkle.


I put the panel under my clear work surface and dabbed Oxide inks on the surface. Having the card under where I am dabbing shows me how large of an inked area I need.


I sprayed the ink with water mixed with Perfect Pearls.


I laid the panel over the wet ink and squished the ink on to the cardstock.


I decided I needed more, so I heat set the panel and added more. I was astounded by how the Perfect Pearls mixed with the ink for a much more metallic look than with original Distress. It's really cool.


I dabbed more colour on to the surface and sprayed it with the Perfect Pearls.


I smushed and heat set.


I added single colours with a swipe and spray also adding some ink directly without water.


The palette I used. After I took this picture, I added Salty Ocean to the edges of the panel with a blender tool. The colours on the panel look almost marbley.

  4. Rijacki, this is stunning and I love the idea of using a piece of clear plastic to lay over your card to see where you waneted to add the inks. Wonderful idea!
