Thanks to the miracles of modern technology I'm actually in Hawaii right now. Here are a couple of appropriately themed Artist Trading Cards:
Aloha!

Behind the Scenes
Heather at stamp club inspired me to complete a journal filled with background techniques. She participated in Trish Bee's Background Noise challenge, and shared her journal with us. I thought I'd give it a try:
You can see that my journal has a different title.
I have interspersed instructions with samples. This "Celebrate" card was made by my sister Dianne, as were the polished stone cards below.
Thanks for looking at my journal! Now I'm moving on to Volume 2.

Asian Dragonfly
This Sugarloaf stamp is one of my favorites, but one that I don't own. So I must thank my sister, Dianne, who lets me play with her toys when I go and visit her! We sprayed some watercolour backgrounds and stamped on them, and then I coloured this with Prismacolor pencil crayons.

Ferns
This fern background stamp from Eureka was coloured with Prismacolor pencil crayons on kraft cardstock. I love the delicate look of ferns, and I don't think these ones have to be relegated to the background!

Bird Collage
This is a simple background technique using Elmers Glue-All and pigment ink. Simply spread some glue on matte cardstock leaving some blank spaces. After it dries, apply pigment inks and rub with a paper towel. Overstamp with permanent ink.

Once Upon A Time......
The themes for the January swap at the Vancouver Artist Trading Card group were purple, turtles, and beginning.
We swapped at the Richmond Art Gallery this month where there is a display of ATC's on at the moment. It is on until January 22 - if you're in the area and enjoy ATC's it is definitely worth a visit!
