Blog Hop with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® & 100 Proof Press! Tiny works of art- Fairy ATCs

Hey there bloggers!

Today I am participating in

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®

and 100 Proof Press blog hop!

I made some fun ATC cards with the fairy stamps I recieved;
this is the "right webbed fairy".

 

Both companies are giving away big prizes if you

comment on all the blogs along the way! If you are interested you want to

start here  100 Proof Press, you will be ending

 at Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft.

 

I love taking pictures of ATC's because you

get to see the detail up close! Closer than your naked eye!

(ATC's are actually 2.5 x 3.5 inches in real life!)

 

 

I used the same techniques on all three ATC's.

 

The back ground:

I started with acrylic ATC's (Clear Scraps) and put a little gesso in the middle.

To get the textured look I took two cards at a time and sandwiched them

together (gesso in the middle) when I pulled them apart and allowed

them to dry I got that variegated look! Once dry I used a dry sponge and

Gelatos™ in the  Blue Collection - Cotton Candy & Blueberry.

I drew in the dried gesso wiht the Gelatos™ and rubbed them in with

the dry sponges.

 

*This is the "fairy blowing a kiss" stamp.

 

Behing the ATC's I used the same dry spong technique with Gelatos™ 

and added a little iridescent medium. I embellished the ATC's with stars,
tiny words, doodling and pigment ink. The stars stamp is also from 100 Proof Press.

 

*"Magic stars" stamp 

 

For the Fairies:

I stamped my fairies on watercolor paper with a

Stamper’s Big Brush Pen in black.

I got the skin color by watering

down an orangeArt GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencil.

I filled in the wings and dresses with

PITT® Artist Pens from the Blue and the Green collections.

I cut them out, ran the Stamper’s Big Brush Pen

along the edges and adhered them to the ATC's.

* "Birdie ride" stamp
