Elle ATC

Before the weekend was over I decided I better get moving on my artist trading cards for the Vintage French swap I signed up for.  I'm happy to report that I completed three cards today which means I need just one more and I can send them on their way to the swap hostess.

If you've ever bought a Somerset Studio magazine, you know that it usually includes a few pages of free clipart.  The women on this card were just that.  I transferred the clipart to a piece of contact paper and then colored the reverse side of the woman on the left with pastels (unfortunately, the white of her shirt disappeared when I set the pastels with a spray sealant).  I then adhered the contact paper to a piece of scrapbooking paper that had French ads on it. 

I hope you had a great weekend!  Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.

Supplies:
Cardstock ATC base; clipart from Somerset Studio magazine; Loew Cornell pastels; background paper by GCD Studios; Duck brand contact paper; typewriter letter stickers by Sticko; Adirondack metallic silver paint dabber; Liquitex matte gel medium.
