Eiffel......

An ATC (Artist Trading Card) made for a swap over on Crafty Individuals Facebook Group. We needed to use a playing  card as the base and leave some indication of the card in the final design. I chose a card and used white Gesso to cover most of the original card design but left the King of Diamonds on the top left.

I then collaged some printed papers and Washi tape as shown. I then chose the top of a CI stamp of the Eiffel tower stamped in black Versafine on white card which was trimmed out and added to the card. I added some metallic gold pen to the top. I then added a couple of gold glitter stars on foam and a circular domed sticker of a colourful butterfly as shown. The card was finished with metallic gold pen.

The holder was made from printed card using a Tim Holtz/Sizzix die.
