I recently participated in an ATC (Artist Trading Card) swap at My Kits&Pieces. The theme was you and where you were from. I made these cards:
Here's an actual size look at one of them:
I used a combination of dye, mod podge, pen, scraps, and newspaper to create the backgrounds. Each of the cards has a different saying on it that I made up. I think the one above is my favorite. The fabulous lady is from Miss Crow (though I did colorize her and photoshop my face onto her body). I covered the whole card in mod podge (which gave it a beautiful shine) and sprayed it with some Glimmer Mist for a bit of extra sparkle! Then I ran a gold pen along the outside edges. Newspaper is a great product to work with! Especially for items like ATCs!
Here is the collection of ATCs I received back in the mail:
A very clever lady named Bobbi (hers is the squirrel card) made a gorgeous mini album from the ATCs. I couldn't find pictures of it on her blog, but you can see it here (just scroll down a bit) in a thread at K&P. She used a Maya Road sheer album and it's just pure genius! I love it!
Thanks for stopping by!

I am honored to have been part of this swap and I just love the ATC that I received from Julie (she carries tissue)! The other cards were creative as well (especially Bobbi’s squirrel one). You rock for posting them Julie…thanks!
