Artist Trading Cards (ATC)
Artist Trading Cards are created and traded by artists, like baseball cards. They are small works of mixed media. There are two rules for making ATC’s. First, the cards must measure 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches (the same dimensions of traditional trading cards). Second, they must never be sold, they can only be exchanged. This has become a great way for artists to network and connect with one another. These mini works of art can combine a few or several products. For example, assorted papers, pictures, words and phrases, fibers, and also techniques like stamping and painting. This is a great way for scrapbookers to use up their scraps.
