Hello - Marah Johnson here to share some of my ATC {Artist Trading Cards} with you! I love working on a tiny canvas....the small area takes away the intimidation of figuring out what to do with so much space. ATC's are the perfect size to experiment with techniques textures and new products. There is something rather freeing about knowing that you are working in a 2 1/2x3 1/2" space.
Who doesn't love using their leftover scraps? I know all of you out there have a stash of all kinds of goodies that are too small for the average paper crafting project but would be perfect for these little tiny masterpieces. So go ahead and give it a try - you will find these little treasures are addictive!
Here are a few of my favorite ATC's
And why not send us one of your finished ATC to show off at the CHA Winter show?
Interested? Below is all the information to get you started!
We Want Your ATC!
What is an ATC you ask?
Artist’s Trading Cards (ATC’s) are pocket-sized works of art. Measured at 2.5”x3.5” Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth. The cards are usually traded or exchanged rather than sold.
