Lara's Finished ATC's If you are not familiar with Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) they are small artworks of playing card size. The idea is that they are small enough to make a number of them in your chosen medium and exchange with other artists. Pretty much the only rule is the size - that is, 2 1/2" x3 1/2" which can fit into trading card sleeves.
Over the years I have traded cards from artists all around the world. I especially love to note cultural styles from country to country... for the record New Zealand and Australian ATC artists appreciate and seem to add a fair bit of detail and layers to their cards.
Last month's ATC workshop featured a collage background technique, embossing, pearl pigments and lava gel (my fav!). This week's ATC workshop has different techniques to try including Texture Paste and Twinkling H2O's.
Also each participant receives a Collage Image Pack to use and for future projects. Last month was fairies and classic images... I'm am completely loving this weeks pack - Antique Roses and Seed Packets.. yummy yum yum yum!
