Artist Trading Cards - Snippets

Hi there!

Thanks for dropping by.

Up in the new and improved Snippets Playground Treehouse, I've been having inky fun making some Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) from what were originally longer strips of white card, left over from making my own base cards.

The GRAND DRAW RESULTS have been put up, and there's been a little celebratory party going on in the Treehouse over at DI'S SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND. There's new bunting in place and lots of comfy chairs, plus an extended bar and some nice new desks for homework too! Vicky H smuggled in some Sherry and leftover Christmas cake in her satchel and Carol L made some flavoured Pretzels, so we've been enjoying ourselves. The Playground swings and roundabouts and the seesaw have all had a lick of paint too!

Want to see the process? If so, read on:

First of all I cut a longer snippet of white card into 2.5" x 3.5" pieces, then sprayed each one separately with a variety of Dylusion Ink Sprays and left them to dry on newspaper.

Next a bit of splattering with my White Dylusions spray. Unfortunately, the sprayer was clogged, so what you see below are splatters done by pulling out the sprayer bit, dipping it in the white ink and flicking it at the ATCs!!!!

Another longer snippet I sprayed for future use.

I ended up adding some text to the eye ATC - which finished it off nicely:

I had a lovely time making these little cards over a few days.

Wishing you a wonderfully creative day.
