December Artist Trading Card Swap

Artist Trading Cards from our bird theme swap

Hi arty dudes and dudettes,
Last Thursday we hosted Altered Book Club and this month we did something a little different by including an Artist Trading Card Swap.  The resulting cards that each participant bought are fantastic!  Artist Trading Cards really are mini masterpieces.

Bird ATC details

Our theme was Birds and the interpretations were many and varied.  From Dodo's to birdcages, music and feathers.  Thank you to everyone involved!

Bird Theme ATC by Kathleen

It was such an enjoyable evening we have decided to do another Artist Trading Card Swap for December.  You are invited to join in.  The upcoming theme is Storybook.  Interpret any way you wish... From Harry Potter to Dr Suess, Wizard of Oz to Thomas the Tank Engine - it's up to you how you represent the theme in your Artist Trading Cards.  The main criteria is the size.  2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and don't forget to include your series title and personal details on the reverse.
