Artist Trading Cards

One of my faves...one of the first one's I ever made!
Artist Trading Cards, ATC's, are miniature works of art.
2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches...the size of a standard baseball card.
A great way to collect and trade art from all over the world.
They are easy to display or store, and the possibilities are endless!
Here are some of my faves!
Mother Knows BEST!
A fabulous work of art, here.
From Andrea...on the left she stitched my name VICKI.  
FLY ME TO THE MOON!
Some are hung, and others tuck into a vintage tin.
If you haven't ventured into the ATC world, beware...the possiblities are endless, and it is truly addictive.  Fun to make, fun to trade!  
GO FOR IT!
