Yesterday on Facebook there was a convo going on about ATCs - Artist Trading Cards, and how much fun they are to make. well I confess that I had never made one before, as the size was a great deterrent to me. Each card has to be 2.5" x 3.5". my shaky tremory hands have a really really hard time working on anything that small. but I decided to give it a go. don't ever let it be said that a challenge was going to stop me from at least trying. ;)
So ta da! don't know if it conforms to all of the proper ATC rules, but then I'm not exactly a conformist anyhow. I think it's pretty dad gum cute, if I do say so myself. so I will! grins!
image is a freebie over at A Day for Daisies, papers are from the Basic Grey Soleil collection, flower is Prima, twine is Webster's Pages, sentiment stamp is MFT, and dies are Spellbinders. the floral rectangle piece has pretty embossing on it that I tried to accent by sponging with white craft ink. flower centers are dotted with distress stickles. used my white gel pen to add a few doodle dots here and there. pretty pink sequins and a distressed ticket finish the card.
have a great weekend! hugs to ya! :)

Conforming? where's the fun in that!? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd this is adorable! I've been thinking about giving ATCs a whirl too recently, though having just discovered Tim Holtz' tag/ink classes, it may take me a while to get 'round to it! x
This is so pretty. Thanks for joining us this week for "Pretty Pastels." Good Luck.

Oh oh, now you've dipped your toes into the ATC world...they are very addictive. I really like how you kept the base the standard size but allowed the circle to go "outside the box". Sweet design and lots of lovely layers! Thanks for joining our Anything Goes/Add a brad or eyelet challenge this fortnight at Craftitude. I hope we see you again soon.
