after a week away visiting my girls

i spent today working on ATC's

(artist trading cards)

for a group i'm part of.

i started with 2.5" x 3.5" card stock.

added gel medium and tissue paper for texture.

a layer of one acrylic paint.

a light layer of a second color.

acrylic ink using a stencil.

butterfly punch outs.

a shiny gem.

and a heart charm.

i then wrote out:

"love with all your heART"

in a metallic marker

 then acrylic ink applied with a calligraphy pen.

and here they are!
