owl & cherry ATC’s

 I was playing around the past few days making these Artist Trading Cards.  The small size is a lot of fun and a nice break from the normal A2 size card.  I ordered some cherry Card Scents from All That Scraps and it arrived today- just in time to finish up my ATC’s.  They smell so yummy now!  The bottle of scented liquid is simply brushed onto the edge of your card.  So easy!  I started out wanting to make an all white card with only the cherries in color but then I pulled out the Summer Picnic papers and added the strip of red.  I’m glad I changed it….I really like the red, black  and white combo with a bit of green!

On the second ATC I used the rectangle Nestabilities and alcohol inks again.  The owl is from an Inkadinkado set I picked up a while ago and hadn’t had a chance to use yet.  It was stamped a second time on the glossy cardstock and popped up on dimensionals.  And the sentiment is from the C.C. Designs owl set.  I used some purple ink in the background with the blue but when I added more blue to make the “night sky” appearance a little darker, the purple became barely noticible.  I added the words in purple for a little contrast.
