ATCs
This week, we’re going to revisit Inspire Me Thursday’s very first challenge, ATCs. An ATC, or artist trading card, is a small piece of art measuring 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″. Other than the size, there really are no other rules — anything goes! For the base of the card, you can choose from a variety of materials — cardstock, watercolor paper, cardboard, fabric, or whatever else you might have on hand. Then paint it, collage it, sew it, embellish it, you name it!
For inspiration, check out the ATC Demo archived on IMT’s former site.
· · ·
Create a new ATC, post it on your blog, then leave your link* in the comments section of this post so we can go check it out.
* To ensure it is easy for us to find your work, please provide a link to a static page that will always show your submission, and not your website’s main page.

Good fortune for me; I just posted an ATC last week in an effort to post my monthly creations for our group (see Albuquerque Art Trading Cards under Yahoo Groups):

Was my first time making ATC Cards, but not my last.
Fun to do.

This was a growing edge and a little intimidating but I did it.

I have been hoping to finish some that I had started a few weeks ago; some christmas ones - but still only about half way through…
Here are some of mine that I did earlier this year. I know it says “new” but since I had not submitted the first time this prompt was put up it’s new to you all - right?

Oh what fun!! I’m in a swap so I don’t get to pick my topic and sometimes not even my materials!! A dead printer stopped me dead in my tracks, but only for a bit. I “made it work” as Tim Gunn likes to say!! Forgive me, I did get a bit carried away… THANK YOU, as always, for the great creative prompt!!
