My first atc....


Mmmm, it must be nearly 18 months since I discovered and became interested in Artist Trading Cards !! I'd been into crafts and cardmaking for years.

I cant even remember where I first heard about them?

Must have been in a craft mag or something similar?

Well,I took the plunge and joined a few Fantastic atc groups online, and also found individual atc'ers to trade with along the way.
....and now I'm addicted to making these little pieces of art!
This is the first Artist trading card that I created, I've not kept many of my 'own' cards, because not only am I obsessed with making them, I'm also hooked on trading them!!

...but I've decided to hang on to the first card that I made.

I've got a nice little collection now, 2 A4 Binders full of treasures from creative people in the UK and also arty peeps from all over the world!!
...and it wont be long before a new Binder is needed!

It sure shows that you're into crafts and cardmaking for years!
I think you make wonderful ATC's and the Inchies are lovely too.
Thanks for the tutorial of the tissuepaper technique; I had heard about it, but now I actually have seen it beeing done.
I'll put your Blog at my favourites, because I will be back!
