New Year ATC
iam using blue cards with layered stickers of Snow. Winter and New Year trio.
So what are Artist Trading Cards all about then?
The artist trading card is said to have been born in 1997 in Switzerland when M. Vänçi Stirnemann of Zurich hosted the first swap at “INK. art & text”. Since then this small art form has grown very large in popularity and many artists and crafters are embracing the concept.
What are Artist Trading Cards?
Each ATC should be exactly 3.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. This is the same size as a standard trading card such as a baseball card and many playing cards. Lots of collectable and gaming cards such as Pokémon cards are this size too.
Most are rectangular but some artists do experiment with arched tops, folding flaps and pockets etc.
The ATC is supposed to be a trading card and so should have a little thickness to it. Even the fabric ones are not too flimsy.
