For those who may be unfamiliar with Artist Trading Cards or "ATCs," they are small works of art the size of a baseball trading card: 2.5" x 3.5" (64 mm x 89 mm). They are made one-of-a-kind or in limited editions and are created using various materials: paper, fabric, paint, ink, pencil, thread, embellishments, etc. and any technique: stamping, painting, coloring, collage, stitch, digital printing, mixed media. They are great fun to make, trade and collect!
Wanna trade?? Several great books with examples of ATCs and how-to instructions for making them are available on-line or at your local library. Check them out and join in the fun!
