My Spirit is in the Mountains Card and more

Hello and welcome!

Today's share is a Card and Artist Trading Cards I made over the last few days. 

I  created the backgrounds with my Daubers and Dye Ink. I really like how 

the mountain scene resembles watercolour.

Friendship Bookmark

Hello! My first share today is a Bookmark and ATC I made using a 

fun background I'm calling Dauber and Lace.

The  Friendship sentiment is from Quietfire Design

Seahorse Dance ATC

I  received these bits of lace as gifts from my ATC trades and I have to say it is very cool looking!

For a quick and fun background I used the Lace as a stencil and simply dabbed the ink on with a Dauber. Then made a scalloped edge by continuing along both sides of the lace.

I love this Peacock stamp it is the perfect size for a bookmark.
The Dance to your own music stamp is also from Inkadinkado.

Winter Photo Greeting and ATC's

I'm not surprised that Wiarton Willie wanted to return to his cozy den for another six weeks. I know I could do with it a bit warmer out but have to admit that I'm loving that sun!

Below are a couple of Artist Trading Cards I made over the weekend.

Thanks for the visit!

Atc's made for the Vintage Collage Yahoo Grp June swap.

I had fun doing the quick BG with distress ink pad and a paper roll for the coffee rings.

The beans were stamped with vintage photo DI and then coloured with vintage photo distress marker.
Interesting how the colours vary between the two.

The Jim's Coffee lable is from a Whimsy BG stamp that I cut apart.

Beans and spoon are Inkadoo

Bloom in yellow ATC

Create to share ATC

Create to share ATC - For trade, a photo by jmcraftygal on Flickr.

This ATC is my entry to the 150 years of Photography challenge on ATC from Canada.

I used watercolour crayons in a spiral pattern on Ranger canvas stock then sprayed it with Ranger silver pearls and let it move the colour a bit then dried it with tissue and finally ironed it to flatten and dry it.

When completely dry I adhered it to cardstock backing.

Stamped Say cheese bella from Stamping Bella (My prize from Die Cut Divas in Feb.)

To complete I added glitter gel pen to sides and misc. words.
