Artist Trading Cards ,,,, ATC’s

Wikipedia Definition

Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards,[1] or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches,small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The cards are usually traded or exchanged rather than sold.

We are sponsored by the lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp so a fab $15 voucher is up for grabs :-)






For my ATC I chose this very cute House MouseSew What’ image. I coloured the image with Copics and inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink and then distressed the edges using a paper distresser. I used a little SU brown card and sewed the image to the backing. I wrapped some Jillibean Twine around it a couple of times and tied a double bow, I then used a TH stamp from the Haberdashery set, stamped onto shrink plastic with black stazon,inked and shrunk. I then popped that onto the bow to finish :-)

So now it's your turn !! If you would like a chance to win a $15 Voucher to spend in the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Superstore then get out your stamps and crayons and join in :-)

Lorraine, I absolutely love what you did with this little space. The stitching, the shrink plastic circle, love what it says, and the bakers twine, all fit perfectly with this adorable stamp. Love the look of anticipation on the little ones face, in a hurry for his Mom to finish stitching...so very cute.

Hugs
Sue
