Artist Trading Card - All About Nature

Sometimes when I make a card, the first attempt doesn't turn out the way I intended but that leaves me with parts that are too nice to throw away so I often put those into my box of "extras" for future use.

When I saw the new Tag-Along (and ATC) challenge was butterflies or birds, I knew I had a perfect starting piece for an ATC in my "extras" box.

This background isn't quite as vivid as the one on the card I had made previously (see below). And unfortunately the butterfly also didn't stamp as well. It's not as visible in real life as it's a small ATC and the photo on the PC is larger than the actual ATC. For this ATC I added another butterfly at the top and then ran a black ink pad along the edges for some definition. 



The stamp set used is by Tracy Evans for Aall and Create - Spread Your Wings. It's been retired but still available from various retailers.


I am entering the ATC here:

Btw: This is the card I was referring to using the same stamp set. If you missed that post and would like to read more about it you can find all the info here:

    That was a good 'save' to your scrap box Ellie, so, pretty in the fresh greens and who doesn't love Butterflies.

    So please you shared at Tag-Along (and ATC's), Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges, thank you.
