ATCs

(Artist Trading Cards)

 

 

There is a wonderful movement sweeping the art world, and it is Artist trading Cards. Each artist makes a trading card (size 2.5"x3.5" and trades it to another artist for the same. Each card is an individual work of art, an original piece. I have only recently begun making these, and I LOVE them. Especially the part where I trade them for another artist's work. I don't know where the concept came from, but it is sheer brilliance. I love doing these.

*Note: My stamped images are from: Enchanted Ink, Beeswax, and I've forgotten the other two (my face is red), I'll have to dig up the invoices and tell you later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are part of a set I did for Seusomon (on Nervousness). You may see a pattern beginning here.

 

 
 

 

 

These are  some I made for  beachstudio.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

This was a trade I did for another butterfly ATC with Bflybabe (on Nness). Each card had a different butterfly quote on the back and they all went into the little garden envelope you see at the end there. Butterflies are happiest in gardens, no?

 

 
 

 

This is actually a group of 8 ATCs. They all fit together in a puzzle. This was done for Tellulah (on Nness). When I sent them, I shuffled them all up and tied them in a stack with a ribbon. On the back there is a poem about the road less travelled by Robert Frost. Next to it is the puzzle put together.
