I knew I saw the pictures, but I couldn't remember where. Story of my life.

Thanks for hosting Kat!
Again, I wish I signed up for all the groups. The pictures look great, I can't wait to see them in person.

 

[maria34a]

The pics did look great, I especially liked the "commentary"!!! That was a bonus! Thanks for the laugh! You even "have it" when your sick!!!

I can't wait to get the package to see them all in person!!!! BTW, how did you like the ATC's? I know they are something different that we have never done before on the board, but I wanted to throw something out there that was a little different since this was a surprise kind of swap!!!! Soooo, since you were the first to see, what was your impression????

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I love the pictures! I definitely want to do this one next time--I can't believe I missed it this time around!! You all did an AWESOME job!!

 

[happycampers]

This was a fun swap. I'll admit, I sneaked a peek at the pics. Good job by all! I only wish I had signed up earlier to get a spot in all of the groups. Thanks, Kat for hosting. Thanks all for swapping.

heheh thanks! yes I am feeling better, still not totally recovered but tons better. I feel like a snicker doodle but what is an ATC? lol that's not one I've heard before. If you are talking about your creation I LOVED them, the pictures just do not do them justice.

As for the commentary i was so dopey that night..lol..

I am so going to host another one of these swaps it was so much fun! It turned out "surprisingly" better than I even imagined it would.

**running to check the swap calender and check in the swap goddess to plan my next one**

I think an ATC is an Artist Trading Card - kind of like a baseball card, but for artists - like us!

 

[Faerie]

I'm trying to be strong and wait for my package to get here before I look.... let's see how long i can hold out

 

[MazdaUK]

I looked as soon as they were posted.

 

[maria34a]

Yep! An ATC is an Artist Trading Card!!! I have a stamp to put on the back, however I couldn't find it!!! Not surprising, I have over 1000 stamps in my house!!!! Oh Well!!!! When I do find it, or buy a new one!!!! I will make some more for another swap and you will see how the back is supposed to look and then get a better idea!!!! But, I am glad you liked them! they are fun to make!!! If you were in the element swap with me you received some blank ones with envelopes in that swap!!! You just decorate any way you want to and trade!!!! The thing is they MUST be kept that size!!! no bigger or smaller!!!

 

[MazdaUK]

Is there a template so we can all join in?

Here is what I have found on-line about the ATC's!


Rules of artist trading cards
Some common rules to modern artist trading cards:

The dimensions of the card must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches (64 x 89 mm).
The cards are traded, never sold. Cards sold are referred to as "art card, editions and originals" (ACEO).
The artist of the cards should sign and date it, and also number them if they are part of an edition. Contact information can also be included so other artists can get to know them and their work. (Some artists like to make a personal calling card with a self portrait on the front and contact information and anything else they'd like to include on the back, to give out with their trades.)
Artist trading cards are typically made on a base of card stock. However, ATCs are created on metal, stiffened fabric, polymer clay, plastic, clay, balsa wood, leather, embroidery canvas, acetate, heavy watercolor paper, and many other materials. Various techniques are then applied to the chosen substrate: collage, textile arts, assemblage, digital art, calligraphy, beadwork, watercolors, rubber stamps, carved soft block stamps, pen and ink, colored pencil, airbrush, and many others. The back of the card typically includes the artist's signature, the date, and sometimes the number (if the card is part of an edition or series), and title. If part of an organized swap, it is common for people to add the name and date of the swap, sometimes including the name of the swap host or venue.
