What they are: 

ARTIST TRADING CARDS (ATC's) are miniature works of art created on 2 ½ X 3 ½ inch or 64 X 89 mm card stock, watercolor paper (at least 140 lb) you may also use mat board. They are originals, they can be decoupaged painted, stamped, inked, collaged and whatever comes to mind. They are to be traded only never sold. Anyone can do an artist trading card. Just have fun and see what you can come up with. I will have a tips page where you will be able to click on links to many on line tutorials. To find out information on how to get your ATC on this website please contact me Sandy Woods at artgall@artgally.com or check out the information page and faq pages.


Recommend Books and Materials for ATC

 

I recommend highly Artist Trading Card Workshop: Create, Collect, Swap (Paperback)by Bernie Berlin (Author)

The paperback book can be purchased at almost all book stores and at Amazon.com I believe the price at Amazon is $15.95 This book explains the history and how to make various styles of atc's I am sure you will find it a valuable a tool as I did. Because of this book I have started to make atc's. I have a great deal of pleasure in making the cards. It is very relaxing.
