Artist trading cards

#Inktober2020 – the plot thickens

Today I want to share a teeny tiny post on something that I think it just a beautiful idea. Last week I chatted about my plan for Inktober2020 and also my DIY zentangle tiles… I did, however, have to find the perfect paper and as it goes (clickity click goes the mouse) I came across the concept of artist trading cards.

Is this not a beautiful plan. A tiny personalised gift… or even a collection of these as a feature in your house. A swarm of little miniature paintings. A quick search in Google brought up this Pinterest page. The featured image of this post also shows round die cut tiles, themed as part of a collection.

Isn’t it gorgeous? Just think how annoyingly chuffed I am going to be if I get this right!?!

Here is something I tried about 100 years ago, but I am thinking I will end up with a few friends for this little guy.

So as with all new finds, I have plans. Many many plans. I am inspired and excited, which always breeds hectic online shopping carts, but I am standing strong!

If you want to get started you can purchase cards on Loot here. I am trying to refer you with a fancy URL parameter, but I am not sure that my URL parameter adding skills can be put on my CV just yet. They have options with various colours like black for collages or assorted greys.

Let me know if you are attempting anything for #Inktober2020 or even #InktoberTangles2020? Goodness, I have never hashtagged anything in my life. It is clearly never too late to start.
