Think Monday - Middle Ages ATC

Wow, two post in one day! I must be getting better. I've done this "King of Fools" Artist Trading Card for this weeks "Think Monday Think ATC" Challenge. It also is for Leonie's Recycled ATC challenge. Sorry the photo doesn't really do it justice, you really can't see all the texture and depth this ATC has. It was done using a scrap piece of corrugated cardboard from some packaging primed with Gesso and then painted with acrylic paints. Background is also a left over piece of painted baby wipe from another ATC. Image was printed from the computer and distressed with sandpaper, crushed and inked with Ranger Age Mahogany Distress Ink. The crown and text were also printed from the computer and attached. The whole ATC was then lightly sprayed with Memories Mist Merlot. The crown and edges were accented with a gold metallic ink pen.

Think Monday - Spring Bloom

For this weeks Think Monday Think ATC challenge with the theme of "Spring". My first thought on the theme were all the blooms that are starting to show on the trees. The background was done by dry brushing Ranger Dabbers Cool Peri and Juniper Acrylic paints and then sprinkling UTEE on the edges and heating slightly to give texture. The printed image of a cherry blossom was texturized in Adobe Photoshop before being printed out and attached with Gel Medium. Words were stamped with ProvoCraft Swell.

I've enjoyed having a crafty day today and I've also been looking at different blogs to see what everyone else is doing in the crafting world. I found this another challenge site, this time for ATC. It's called "Think Monday" and every Monday a new theme is announced. So I've decided to give it a go. This weeks theme was "Fashion", and this was the result. I've done it using a technique from Artist Trading Cards Workshop with a printed image and text. I've also used coloured pencils, Ranger Paint, Distress Inks and stamps.
