Hello lovelies,
My youtube channel turns two years old this month and I'm quite pleased with the way it's going, although this year I've only been able to manage one video tutorial a month. Apart from the daily errands, I've been busy with preparing for an art exhibition in June (more on that in a future post), as well as re-branding my channel to align with my blog.
I did manage to squeeze in this fun and easy tutorial. Creating Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) is very satisfying. The surface is small enough to complete several cards quickly, and just like standard trading cards you can exchange them with fellow artists. Who doesn't love to receive happy mail?!
To fill the background easily I used stencils with a variety of patterns. Create eyecatching effects by using three harmonizing paint colors together.
In this video tutorial I use tiny paper scraps from my leftovers basket. I tend to keep those scraps that are the negative image that have been punched out with a punching tool or a shape that I cut out by hand. By layering other bits underneath you can create interesting collage art.
Watch the short art tutorial from start to finish here:
Chunky acrylic paint pens are a playful way to add mark making. I have several colors, some with a round tip and some with a chisel tip. Tiny bits of washi tapes add texture.
This is a beginner-friendly project and very forgiving should you ever glue down a paper scrap in the wrong place (as I did 😉) due to the many layers!
Thanks for visiting my blog and reading along. Have a great day!

These are amazing. Love all the fun colors and your use of the scraps with the negative space.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann :)
DeleteI love how you used the stencils! I haven't stenciled in a long time, but I do remember how much I used to love crafting with stencils. And the added washi tape for texture is brilliant. The colors here are so fun. They almost remind me of my childhood in the 80's with the funky fun colors displayed everywhere.
ReplyDeleteLooking at them with fresh eyes - they do indeed have an 80s vibe!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, dear Duni.
ReplyDeleteDear Duni, I really enjoyed watching your video and the process that you used to create the effects you wanted.
