ATC Fun

I hadn't really played with ATC (Artists Trading Cards) much. I didn't really see the point. But there was a challenge to make an ATC card during last weeks Dare to be Dirty challenges on SCS so I thought I'd give it a try. ATC's are a great way to try out a new techniques or to try out a color combination and they are fun to trade with fellow stampers too. They are great fun to make and then turn into cards. Here are two examples of ATC's turned into cards. The first picture shows the ATC. Measurements are 2.75 x 4.25 which is half the size of a standard card.

The second picture shows a completed card with the ATC added to it.



Stamps: Bodacious Boquet, Itty Bitty Backgrounds & Hero Arts sentiment
Paper: Celery, Bashful Blue, Cocoa, White
Ink: Celery, Bashful Blue, Cocoa
Accessories: gold brads, photo corner punch, cuttlebug embossing folder, word window punch, ribbon, hemp





The second ATC and card were made with the retired SU! Tickled Pink set. This is the ATC card that I made first









Then I made it into a card!

Stamps: Tickled Pink
Paper: Green Galore, Gable Green Pink Passion, Cameo Coral, White
Ink: black, pixie pink, pink passion
Accessories: ribbon from Michael's, ticket corner punch, circle punches, watercolor pencils, dimensionals
