ARTIST TRADING CARDS
- these are 2.5" x 3.5" cards that have been altered in some way by beadwork, collage, coloured pencil, embossing, stamping, water colours and so forth.
- generally made from cardstock, but not always. They have also been created on acetate, leather, stiffened fabric and wood.
There are no rules when creating the ATCs but there are some guidelines regarding etiquette.
- finished piece must measure 2.5 x 3.5
- the artist should sign and date the back of the card
-ATCs must be traded NOT sold
There is a misconception that ATCs are only for trading. This could not be further from the tuth. They make beautiful additons to your scrapbook project, whether you put them straight onto a scrapbooking page or tuck them into minature envelopes or folders.
