momentousangel Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Wow, that is truly neat. I didn't really know for sure what an artist card was until now, so I can't thank you enough for sharing. Now I can make one like I needed to for the Circle Journal, lol. But since it will be my first, it definately won't be as great as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shai Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 OMGosh, Valerie ... this is nothing compared to what I have seen out there! To me this is like a 5 yr old work hehe But, again, I just wanted to do SOMETHING with paper, quickly! THANK YOU for the compliment! There is a link running around for a great site that explains ATCs ... oh wow! I found it right away!

Guest Doxy_Chic Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Shai, love your card. I have been interested in trying ATC's for a while now. Have looked at so many sites and gallerys of ATC's and some of them are so beautiful and interesting. I am so afraid to try my own (I know that sounds silly) and the thought of getting in on a trade is even more scary. What is wrong with me? Why am I going against my own quote (Just Do It!). Well you have inspired me to do just that. Off to make my first ATC I might even post it LOL. Thanks Shai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been throwing the idea around of ATCs for awhile, too. I've always been afraid, TOO! And I so know what you mean! So, you better share to inspire me to keep going, too LoL I am working on one right now, of a bridge Mike loves in Scotland. I bougth a panoramic postcard while on holiday last year. He asked me to do something with it so he could have it in his office. I found some great panaromic frames ( only 4 dollars each!!) at Tesco's. Kinda like a WalMart, but UK He Loves it! So I am making a little thing for him, again, with the picture. I'll share if you share LoL Shai PS: My only goal here is to get my nerve to do something different and pass on encouragement and fun! I hope I am doing it well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momentousangel Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thanks so much for sharing the link! I truly had no clue about artists trading cards. They not only sound fun, but they sound like they can become as addicting as my love for Basketball and Pokemon cards. LOL. I'm gonna try doing a few the paper way. Thanks once again.

Guest CathyRose Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I got "Artist Trading Cards - an anthology of ATCs". Published by Someret Studio. and if you are interested in ATC's it is a great little book to have. So many examples to look at, lots of ideas to inspire you. What I love about ATC's, is there are little and such a great way to use all those scraps everyone has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
