Artist Trading Cards



I made some Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). The only rule regarding Artist Trading Cards is that they measure 2.5" X 3.5". The size of a baseball card. They can be collected, traded or displayed. Kids especially love these. I taught an ATC class project to some third graders and they had so much fun, they continued to make them and trade them throughout the school year.

These ATC's use:

These stamps are the perfect size for ATCs. I then taped them to an Amuse note card with some incredible Japanese washi masking tape!!! The great thing about this tape is it is removable, without a trace, from most surfaces! So, my card recipient can peel the tape off and keep their little ATC!!

I usually add more collage type elements/embellishments, layers, etc. But I couldn't bear to cover up any of the image!




Supplies:
Copic Markers, Spica Glitter Pen Clear, Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Clear, VersaMagic Ink Ocean Depth

    I think you have a typo for the height size of your ATC in your article, forgot the .5
    Love your coloring, so crisp and bold!
