On Stage Swap Cards -You Make a Difference

Yesterday I sat down and made 10 more swap cards for On-Stage Toronto, using the stamp set "Touches of Texture", which is one of the stamps being carried over into the new catalogue.


When you're mass producing cards to swap, the design needs to be simple but eye-catching, with only a few embellishments.
I chose to make card front rather than a full card.  The Whisper White (Art Piece) is thus 3 3/4 by 5", matted with a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Marina Mist card stock. The recipient can then adhere it to a card front of their choosing to make a full card.

The images were stamped with Black Memento or Basic Gray ink and either stamped or coloured with Marine Mist ink.
Clear Wink of Stella was added to the dragonfly and flowers, and a retired 1/4" Marina Mist ribbon added to the bottom
The sentiment is from "In This World" is die cut using the stitched oval framelits and added to the card front with dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Touches of Texture, In This World
Inks: Black Memento, Basic Gray, Marina Mist
Papers: Marina Mist, Whisper White
Accessories: 1/4" Marina Mist ribbon (R), Clear Wink of Stella glitter brush, dimensionals, stitched oval framelits.
