Hello, lovelies! I love creating ATCs (art trade cards) each month. It's a great way to start up my creative process and help me hone my senses into creating bigger/larger scaled projects.
Today, I'm sharing a simple step-by-step process on how I created these round ATCs using Graphic 45's Love Notes. I used the Stickers and Pockets and Tags with this project.
Step 1:
Cut up 2 circles from an old cereal box. Do the same on white card stocks and glue card stocks onto cereal box cut outs back-to-back. These will serve as your base.
Step 2:
Using a palette knife, stencil and modeling paste, create some texture onto your base
Step 3:
Paint over it with black metallic acrylic.
Step 4:
Splatter on some red paint
Step 5:
Tear off some papers (I used Graphic 45 Commuique Collection: Typography) and glue a tattered piece onto one side of the circle
Step 6:
Start decorating using Love Notes Stickers and Tags, along with a Die Cut each.
Step 7:
Add red flowers and gold matte pearl gems to finish off the design.
And voila! They are done!

TIP: Go for about 3-5 elements of different sizes for an eye-catching
yet slightly minimalist effect.
TIP: You can add in some black mini styrofoam beads underneath your tattered paper piece for some subtle added texture
