Hi, Everyone! Michelle here with a fun idea for an Artist Trading Cards!
Recently I was invited to participate in a postage stamp themed ATC swap.
ATC is short for Artist Trading Card. Think of it as miniature works of art to make and trade!
Supplies:
- Rinea Sapphire/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
- Embossing folder and machine
- Paper trimmer
- Small hole punch
- Clear adhesive
- Floral postage stamps- real or clip art
- White cardstock
- Real or fake flowers.
- Sanding block
- Plastic bottle
- Scissors
- Wax crayon or embellishment tool
- ATC stamp (from - Sin City Stamps)
- Colored markers and a black ink pad
All ATC's are 2 ½" x 3½". So you will need to use your paper trimmer to cut your foil down to size.
Emboss using your folder and machine.
Place the embossed foils onto the plastic bottle and gently sand off the embossed designs.
Fold the sapphire/gold foil in half a few times and make some confetti with your hole punch.
Use your embellishment tool to adhere some of those dots, gold side up onto the ATC's.
Add your postage stamp and flower petals.
Stamp your ATC stamp onto some white cardstock. Color in with your markers. Cut some larger circle of the foiled paper use to accent your stamped ATC.
Now you are ready to trade away!
