A set of Artist Trading Cards for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum .....

The theme was 'Black and one other Colour' 

I stamped the floral stamp (Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous) in black Versafine ink on lilac card and heat embossed this with clear embossing powder. I trimmed out three 2.25 x 3.25 inch pieces and then matted these on black card to 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

I used Dusty Concord Distress ink washes and a waterbrush to colour the florals leaving all the rest uncoloured. I added Glossy accents to selected petals to highlight.

The designs were then added to the bases which were cut from re-cycled food packaging and the ATC's were finished with three black adhesive gems ......
