I am sharing a few winter Artist Trading cards from the archives today. Way back in 2009! They are still some of my favorite cards. Made with a combination of collage images, layering, stamping, glitter, snowflake punches, and star embellishments.
I have not been creating much (if at all) the past few weeks. I have my grandson often and he is a little bundle of energy. I rest when he does or when he is not here.
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe!
This little ATC I made last week with a few others when I had some creative time. The background papers are from Tim Holtz, image is from Lisa’s Collage Art, washi tape, dictionary pages, computer text, and mounted on to cardstock.
When I first started making ATC’s back in 2006, I always used them to trade with other art friends. Over the years, I have discovered other uses as well. Mounting them on to other layers for a card, junk journals, Christmas ornaments on a tree, they are so versatile.
How have you used ATC’s?
I’m sharing a few “photo booth” ATC’s I made recently. I love old pictures of any kind, but some of the photo booth photos from long ago are just too beautiful. I have a few of my own parent’s that I hold very dear. I think the little boy is my favorite.
Happy Tuesday!
I wanted to finally share with all of you the beautiful ATC’s I received in Kim’s “A Vintage White Christmas” ATC swap in December. It was a joy to participate and the art was outstanding. Each ATC so different and special. Some with fabrics, glitter, lace, tulle and each a surprise to open.
Kim at artJOYstuff is hostess to yet another ATC swap called “Pretty and Pink”.
I hope you will join the fun (this is a 3/3) as sign up still continues!
