Here's an artist trading card featuring a little tyke from Red Lead Paperworks, a variety of leftover scraps of paper, a stamped flourish, distress inks, and copper acrylic paint stenciled on using punchinella (sequin waste).
The text is from a 1935 spelling book. Back in the days when people used handwritten letters of introduction to apply for jobs, correct spelling and grammar could make the difference between being hired and standing in the bread line (it was the height of the Great Depression, after all). It's probably a good thing the authors of this book aren't alive to see the atrocious spelling and grammar being used in today's text messages and tweets.
Have a great day!
Supplies:
Strathmore cardstock ATC blank; miscellaneous scraps of torn book pages and game cards; white gesso; soft gel medium; flourish stamp by Inque Boutique; Stazon black ink; Adirondack white and copper acrylic paint dabber; wild honey, dusty concord, and stormy sky distress inks; clipart from Red Lead Paperworks.
