Garden of Tranquility | ATCs

Hello! It’s time for my latest design team inspiration for Visible Image.

My garden has been even more important to me this year and the recent landscaping has been a godsend. I have spent many mindful hours outside nurturing my plants and everything is looking so summery now that my summer bedding pots have come into flower.

So all these provided my inspiration for my project today, a set of 5 artist trading cards.
Artist trading cards measure 3 1/2 X 2 1/2″ and I make them to swap with my crafty friends and my little granddaughter.

I called this set my “Garden of tranquility”

I used 2 stamp sets;

Random Art of Kindness

and the daisy stamp from Break Free

This is what I got up to;

I used oxide ink to stamp the background using one of the flowers and archival ink for the “stem” from the ‘Random Art of Kindness’ set.

I stamped the “rose” flower from the ‘Random Art of Kindness’ set onto different scraps of inky card and chose the 3 I liked best and cut them out.

I added a little accent of gold stickles to each flower

and I stamped the small words from ‘Random Art of Kindness’ set onto kraft card and cut them into little plant markers.

Here they are finished

with a couple of close ups

and one last shot.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
