I'm having way too much fun with the Artist Trading Cards! They are baseball sized cards (2 1/2 x 3 1/2) little pieces of art. They are numbered pieces, and of limited edition.
Searching around Pinterest, I saw ATCs that matched full sized A2 cards. What a great idea! It's a small piece you can keep rather than storing a card. Since I'm in ATC creation mode, I plan to take them and then create full cards for my club or for mailing.
Here is our 2nd swap. After our Stampin' Up! OnStage event, we kept the swapping going, and one lady was fabulous enough to organize the swapping for us!
My Thank You ATC here features lots of techniques. I used Brusho crystals on Thick White cardstock for a colorful background. I used the new stamp set Painted Glass, and the Stained Glass die cuts. I also stamped the Thank you with StazOn on the vellum. The butterfly was heat embossed and colored with Stamp 'n Write markers. I also used one of the new *beautiful* buttons. They're SO pretty!
This was actually going to be my 2nd swap. I had to wait a bit longer than I wanted to for this stamp set. It was worth the wait!
We were assigned a technique for this ATC swap. I used watercoloring. The background is special. Color the C block with various markers. Spritz with water, and place on the paper with some pressure. It melds the colors together on the paper!
I used the Watercolor Pencils and an aqua painter to color the balloons. After they dried, I used the chalk marker to add a highlight and make the balloons look spherical.
Colors featured on this ATC: Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, and Rich Razzleberry.
The Happy Birthday comes from Southern Serenade, and the little confetti is from Amazing Congratulations stamp set.
