ATCs 'explained'
Have you ever made an ATC or two or twenty? I have just been making some for Chrissy over at Artist Trading Cards and Me There's always a challenge going at Chrissy's blog and all are welcome to join in!
If you would like to know more about these fascinating little projects, there's a bit more information on my website
I'll definitely be making more of these! There's something compelling about them :) I used paint on the backgrounds of these, and doodled, and scrumpled up copied sheet music then distressed it with inks, and I kind of distressed the strawberries and their mounting papers too...there's plenty of metallic pens used on these ATCs. And I used Crystal Effects to make the berries look a little dewy. What do you think??

These are just lovely Susan... I've never made ATC's before but I do admire them!
I have seen these in the flesh and they are gorgeous and so was the huge chunky bar of chocolate that arrived with them yummy.

They're lovely - I really like the 'grungy' look, its strangely satisfying to do.

Wonderful! ATC's are so much fun....I haven't made any in a while and just may need to do some after vacation.
Hi Susan,
Artist trading cards are a great form of art, aren't they?
