Here are some more of those detachable Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). ATCs are fun because they are collectable, tradeable or displayable! The only rule is that they measure 2.5" x 3.5". I made the ATCs by stamping the main image first in black, masking it, and stamping the adorable skull and crossbones in a lighter shade.

I used more of that Japanese washi masking tape, which makes the ATCs removable.
See my post regarding the tape and where to buy it, here.


Supplies:
Stamping Bella stamps: Lulu Ketto, Maisy Ketto, Skully Ketto
Copic Markers, Spica Glitter Pen-Mint
Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Clear pen, Sakura Glaze-orange
Amuse notecards
Glimmer Mist
Japanese Washi Masking Tape
Ink: Memento Tuxedo: Black, Ladybug; Versafine: Smokey Gray, Versamagic: Red Magic, Perfect Plumeria; Colorbox: Harbor


Thanks for stopping by and good luck on the hop!!!!
