Artist Trading Cards - 2nd Set

Floral Snow
I drew all of these artist trading cards yesterday on the paper that I watercolor painted on.  To achieve a certain look on some of them, I sprinkled salt on the paper while it was still wet with paint.  When dry, then I scraped the salt off.  Its been fun to experiment on these 2.5" x 3.5" pieces of paper.  My husband wants me to keep it up.  Maybe I can get him to make a few to.  I love his character doodles.  You can see some of his characters here.  Its also been fun naming them.  Some I won't trade.  Thoughts of how to display them (framed) are dancing through my mind.

    They look really good. What kind of paper are you using?

    Technology Consultant: They are trading cards, trading cards made by artists and crafters to trade with one another.

    Moira: Thank you. I am using watercolor paper. :)
