I have 6 Mini Slimline Cards to share using STAMPlorations
I Love the uncolored flowers with the text kraft backgrounds on the 120# ATC's.
That gave me the opportunity to use Prismacolor watercolor and colored pencils
on the ATC's.
I created the same Mini Slimline (3 1/4" x 6 1/4") card bases using SU Kraft cardstock
on three cards and River Rock cardstock on three cards.
The River Rock was a lighter shade that matched 3 of the ATC's closer.
My set of River Rock cardstock Mini Slimline ATC cards.
Mini Slimline #1 Dance in the Rain.
I used the same design techniques for all the ATC's, but varied the pencil and
SU cardstock frame colors. It was so relaxing and enjoyable coloring the pretty flowers.
I used Prismacolor pencils and Prismacolor watercolor pencils.
I used a slightly loaded with water #4 paint brush for watercoloring
with the watercolor pencils because the ATC's are not watercolor paper.
But they handle light watercoloring easily:-)
Next stenciled the Peeking Chrysanthemums-ARTplorations Slimline Stencil
with Distress Inks onto the River Rock card front.
Popped up the ATC on craft foam and added The Inspirational #1 Clear Stickers
and done!
**************
Mini Slimline #2 Live Life
Stenciled the Strung Lights-ARTplorations Slimline Stencil on the River Rock card front
with Distress Inks.
Then stamped through the stencil with STAMPlorations Scribbly Splattery Grunge
stamps using Archival Jet Black Ink.
Popped up the pretty ATC and added the Inspirational #1 Clear Sticker
and Done!
**************
Mini Slimline #3 Hope.
Stenciled Fanned-ARTplorations Slimline Stencil on the River Rock card front
using Distress Oxide Inks.
Next stamped Scribbly Splattery Grunge images through the stencil
using Memento London Fog.
Popped up the pretty ATC and added the Inspirational #1 Clear Sticker.
Another mini slimline card Done!

DeleteAll six mini slimline cards are fabulous, Nancy! Each card is so beautifully colored and stenciled! It's clever to choose the theme color for the frame color, and the frame ties the background to the focal panel. I love all of them! You truly did an amazing job of showcasing the Vintage Blooms #2 ATC! Hugs.. Hideko
