Hi there,
It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this Rusty Artist Trading Card Duo.
Step 1: Creating the Background
- cut a 10” x 15” piece of patterned paper from the Rusty Weathered paper pad
- add white liquid acrylic paint and some Alcohol Inks for an even rustier look
- cut the panel into two halves

Step 2: Adding more Texture
- adhere some torn washi tape to random areas
- apply Prima Marketing Texture Paste Platinum Crackle through the Story Telling and Make your Mark stencils
- stamp the large elements from the Words and Layers stamp set with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves
- ink up the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso and heat-emboss them with Distress embossing powder Vintage Photo

Step 3: Finishing the Project
- adhere the panel to a slightly larger piece of kraft cardstock
- add the sentiments – one is from the Words and Layers set and one is from my vintage typewriter stash
