Twinkle, Twinkle ATC

 

 

I'm headed to the Heirloom's Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Festival this weekend. They run an Artist Trading Cards (ATC) contest based on a theme during the show to win show bucks. Last year I entered for the first time and I decided to go for it again this year. The theme is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Working this small ( 2 1/2" x 3 1/2") is very hard for me but I tried my best to bring across the theme. I enjoyed bringing together stamps sets to achieve this look and blending distress inks to create the night sky and the grassy knoll. Stickles in various colors seemed perfect for the diamonds in the sky! Fabric markers were used to create the grass and to color in the tree leaves and trunk. Stamping the house on white cardstock allowed me to color it differing colors and with a fussy cut, the house seamlessly fits into the scene. Wish me luck! Next week, I'll be sure to share my class projects and haul with you.
