Artist Trading Card Duo

When I recently made this card I had the luck of messing up my first try. Before throwing it away I decided to see if I could save parts of it and create an ATC, and I ended up making 2 ATCs 😊

Here I used the "smooshing" technique for the background with Distress inks/oxides then stamped Lavinia's Moon stamp using Twilight Versafine Clair ink. I did not like how the moon stood out on the original card I tried making, and also wasn't a fan of the inky background. But I think it works much better for a miniature project like an ATC instead of a greeting card size. On the background I also used the sentiment Magic Surrounds Us. Cats are Witches Cat on the right side and Luka on the left. Texture 2 stamp was used on the corners and edges, and then I added Lavinia's Miniature Stars using Twilight Versafine ink to match the moon and texture stamp. I used white brilliance ink to lighten up the moon just a little bit. These stamps are all by Lavinia.

ATC #2

I finally purchased a binder for my ATCs. I found this cute one on Amazon :)

Enough for 4 cards per page and it does come in a two other options but I loved this "Sakura Cat" style, of course :)

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for visiting!
