"Artist Trading Cards" have become an international movement since their origin in Switzerland in 1997. They are little creations -- 2.5" x 3.5", standard trading card size -- often made with magazine collage or other papercraft techniques. Many ATC-makers go on to trade their cards at local "swaps" or at special online sites. Regardless of whether you trade your cards, you don't have to be an "artist" to make them!
I'll help you get started by showing you examples and demonstrating some fun techniques like print transfer, distressing, stamping, and embossing. ATCs are so much fun to make, it's hard to stop!
Anyone is welcome. No previous artistic skill is required.
