ATC's (Art Trading Cards) ~ Year 2010

In 2010 I became member of a swapping site that I absolutely love... Swap-Bot. Swapping my art with people all over the world is very exciting. As I became more comfortable with the site, I learned how to create ATC's.... which is a short form of saying  Art Trading Cards. They are 2.5"x3.5" size cards you create your art onto. I use cardstock for front and back and cereal box cardboard in the center to make it sturdy. The artwork is created using Cardstock, Scrapbooking Paper, Stickers, Pencil, Pen, Colored Pencils, Watercolors, Calenders, Vintage Paper Dolls, Stamps, Tissue Paper, Magazine Clippings, Medium Gloss, Tacky Glue, and more. You can use any form of paper and cardboard, as long as it's the measurments specified above. Here are the ATC's that I created. There are some missing because I forgot to take a photo of them before sending them.
