I made an Artist Trading Card in celebration of Queen Elisabeth's life. I wanted to use a small crown stamp and on an ATC even a small stamp can take center stage.

I cut an ATC (2.5 x 3.5 in) from Ranger Heavystock cardstock and gold embossed the crown from Tim Holtz Mini Ornates on the card.

Ink the card with Distress Ink using an ink-blending tool.

Stamp the distressed frame from Mini Ornates on the card with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Royal ink.

I also stamped the card with the script stamp from Mini Ornates, using Potting Soil Archival Ink. Glue the corners to the card.

This frame stamp is an old favorite of mine.

The sentiment sticker comes from Tim Holtz Metallic Sticker Book. To make it really stand out, I matted it on Simon Says Stamp Gold Glitter paper, Simon Says Stamp Soft Navy Cardstock and finally Gold kraft paper. It was adhered with Simon Says Stamp foam tape.
