Bright Blooms ATCs

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 2-1/2 x 3-1/2" 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 May 2024 Bright Blooms collection. (The swap requires we make nine ATCs for trading.) I usually create my Artist Trading Cards with the monthly stamp sheet and Pack of Panels.

To recreate my design, follow the steps below. 

1. Fill an entire 12x12 White Plain with the small flower image from Club Scrap's (now-extinct) Dahlia Remix Jumbo Flower stencil. (I used an ink applicator brush to apply Fuchsia and Orange Hybrid ink through the openings.)
2. Trim the White into nine 2-1/4 x 3-1/4" panels.
3. Place each 2-1/4 x 3-1/4" panel into a stamping platform. Position the "you're amazing" sentiment in the upper third of the panel. Close the lid to pick up the stamp. Open the lid and ink the surface with India ink. Close the lid to transfer the sentiment. Repeat as needed to achieve a crisp impression on all nine panels.
4. Loop two lengths of coordinating ribbon through a flower woodcut, wrapping the ends around the back side of the panel. Secure with tape.
5. Mat with a 2-3/8 x 3-3/8" Duplex panel.
6. Mat again with the opposite color of a 2-1/2 x 3-1/2" Duplex panel.

Until next time, happy crafting!
