Luminary Artist Trading Cards

I've been having a blast participating in the monthly ATC swap hosted by club member, Lynn L, on the Club Scrap Chat Facebook Group. 

I enjoy the challenge of creating 2.5x3.5" works of art inspired by one of Club Scrap's monthly kit themes. It's similar to designing a card, but in miniature.

The ATCs below were created featuring Club Scrap's December 2023 Luminary collection. (The swap requires we make nine ATCs for trading.) I almost always create my ATCs for the swap utilizing the monthly stamp sheet and Pack of Panels.

To recreate my design, follow the steps below. 

1. Place the Luminary 6x6 Masking Stencil onto a 2-3/8 x 3-3/8" Cream Speckle panel. (Keep it in place with a bit of removable painter's tape.) 
2. Apply Yellow Hybrid Ink with an Ink Applicator Brush in the center of the panel. 
3. Switch brushes; apply Amethyst ink around the perimeter, carefully blending the two where they overlap. Remove the mask. 
4. Place the panel into a stamping platform. Add the sentiment with India Ink, repeating as necessary to achieve a crisp impression.
5. Remove the Vanilla panel from the stamping platform. Mat with a 2-1/2 x 3-1/2" Green panel. 
6. Adhere a Gold Medallion (Luminary Card Kit), or a Medallion Charm (Luminary Page Kit - connectors removed) with Bookbinding Glue. 
7. Repeat the steps above to create eight additional ATCs.

I'm pretty happy with the results. I look forward to seeing what others' have created after the swap is complete. 

Until next time, happy crafting!
