Artist Trading Cards

Artist Trading Cards are usually made on a base of card stock but they have been created on lots of different bases including : metal, stiffened fabric, leather, embroidery canvas, acetate, heavy watercolor paper etc.
They can be decorated in any way you fancy, collage, rubber stamping, decoupage, watercolours, pencil sketches, etc etc.
The only standard requirement for an ATC is that its height and width measurements be 2.5" x 3.5", either portrait or landscape.
Just put your details on the back and voila!
The reason they are called Trading cards and the real fun behind them, is that you trade your work with someone elses. No charge, just a straight swap.
It doesnt matter what you ability is or the techniques that you use, the joy is in giving and receiving.
Happy Crafting!

Did you know…? Over three million animals are used for experiments in the UK every year. As a result an animal dies in a laboratory somewhere in the UK every 12 seconds. Not only are these experiments scientifically unreliable in predicting effects in humans, but there are many non-animal alternatives that offer a cheaper, quicker and more accurate solution. The only things that prevent change are the lack of political will to actively seek alternatives and the vested interests that take the path of least resistance. A change of hearts and minds is needed. http://www.buav.org/
