A set of Artist Trading Cards

 

Hi There! I have been having a bit of fun making Artist Trading Cards this weekend. Here is how I made them.

I began by cutting myself 3 cards from mixed media card measuring 2.5" x3.5" 

Next I smooshed some distress oxide inks on to them.

Once dry, I stamped them using the crackle background in Peacock Feathers ink

When this was dry, I wiped the cards with an anti static cloth, then masked off two thirds of the card, before stamping with versafine ink and adding gold embossing powder. This was done with the Asemic writing stamp.

Here is a close up of the gold embossing once heated. 

Next I stamped the coffee bean border from Freehand Borders #2 in Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink

I used the same ink to stamp the leaves from Journaling essentials #2 on to a scrap of white card before fussy cutting them. 

On a scrap of teal coloured card I stamped three sentiments from Mixed Messages #3 and heat embossed in white. I attached the leaves, the sentiments and some coordinating sequins to the three backgrounds using matte medium. I also added a border with a brown marker. Here they are:
