Such a great idea to recycle scraps to make such colourful and striking cards especially in a climate where everything seems to be disposable and single use.
Hi Artsy Friends,
I’m so excited to become a member of Happy Little Stampers (HLS) ATC (Artist Trading Card/Coin) Challenge Design Team starting from April. I haven’t made ATCs for a long time. The DT role will surely enable me to make more ATCs in the future. Ha!
The APRIL Challenge Theme is PERTTY PAPERS.
For Challenge Rules and other DTs’ inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. Please join us for the fun.
Pretty Papers made me think about the scraps/leftovers of Mixed Media background papers that I’ve kept. The following are how I made my ATC.
ATC Details
1. Dig out my previously-made Mixed Media background paper scraps.
2. Apply Herringbone Technique to arrange the paper scraps to a panel.
3. Stamp text in black ink. Die cut texts from black card stock and adhere to Herringbone panel. (Texts and Die Cuts are by Hero Arts.) Mount the panel to a white ATC card base. Viola!
I hope these ATCs are eye-pleasing to you.
For my previous Herringbone Technique card, please check out here. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great day ahead.
