The OFB ATC challenge was to create a collage. I decided to use some of my scraps to make a collage sheet and then cut that up to make an ATC (Artist Trading Card)..
Video where I walk through the process and make the ATC:
This is one of those fun techniques that is easy and once you create a page you can use it for more than one piece of art. Just cut out or off what you need for the project. I will use strips of the parent sheet to make a framed art or a greeting card.. and it looks like I spent a lot of time creating a one of a kind art..
Have fun with this technique. Please share your creations. I love seeing what others come up with..
Artist Trading Card for the OFB ATC group. Theme: Johnny Depp.
I choose to use a character from one of the movies: Captain Jack Sparrow… I just love his character in the Pirate movies.. I downloaded an image from a website and printed on cardstock. Scrapbook paper was used as the background. I’m loving the Tim Hotz mini masks and the Distress Inks. I love how versatile the distress inks are for artwork.. A Skull stamp from Inkadinkado. But I didn’t stop there…
The below video shows everything I did, I hope you enjoy watching.
Thanks for stopping and for watching.. If you have questions, please feel free to ask, as I love to share what knowledge I have with others.
The challenge for this art was to use eyelets. Even though you may not be able to see them I used two. lol.. Both are in the oval chipboard and are lavender in color.
In this piece I created a 6 by 6 inch art using scrapbook papers, chipboard, Prima flowers, Adirondack Color wash and rubber stamps. Included in this art is one of my handmade butterflies – made out of polymer clay. It took about 35 minutes to make this art piece, once I had all of the materials gathered.
My recipe for glimmer mist: Future Floor Polish and Pearl Ex I mix in an old spray bottle and put in about a teaspoon of Pearl Ex and test how it looks, if it needs more shimmer I add more Pearl Ex. lol
This time I decided to make a kit of the items I used in this art and offer it for sale.

Two 6 inch by 6 inch Background papers – Treasure and Plaid
Two 6 by 6 Cardstock papers – Pink and Purple
