Ali CT - Black & White ATC's

 Sharing how I created a set of 3 Black & White Artist Trading Cards for the May 2022 swap. 

It's such a lovely way to share artwork between crafting buddies and as each card is only 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" inches, you can have a lot of fun making these 😀.

Cut 3 ATC cards out of 300gsm white card - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". Squish Black Soot Distress Oxide onto a craft mat, spritz with water until it beads then pick up the ink with the card. 

Dry with a heat gun. Repeat with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink, drying the card each time before picking up more ink.

Apply Black Soot Oxide through the numbers Dinkable tag in a couple of section on each atc.

Apply black ink through the arrows Dinkable tag.

Dry the atc's with a heat gun and pat over with an anti static pad. Pick one of the Beautanicals, I used the Teasels but this would work with any as they are fab silhouette stamps. Stamp with versamark or white pigment ink then heat emboss with white embossing powder.  

I made each of the 3 atc's slightly different.

Stamp the flower name with black versafine and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Apply black ink around the edges of the atc's.  

Stamp a sentiment from Ticker Tape 1 using black versafine and clear heat emboss.

Fussy cut the words using scissors and attach to the cards with pva glue.

Print off a few ATC backers (in the Bee Crafty Stamps Files section) and fix to the back of  the atc's

Admire your project before swapping them with fellow Bee Crafty fans.

I hope you have enjoyed this project and thanks for stopping by,
