I made some ATC (Artist Trading Cards) today for the holidays and decided to add some ribbon to the tops of them so they could be hung on the tree or on a gift.
The first one has stamping on it, it’s a cute little snowman on a hill surrounded by trees and falling snow. There’s lots of glitter and a snowflake charm (from Close To My Heart) as well. I sewed the layers of paper together on my sewing machine.
The next one is a beautiful vintage image of a little girl that I turned into an angel. I free hand cut some wings for her from some cool gold vellum and layered her onto some vintage sheet music. The letters for JOY were cut from an old book and there are also some glittery gold stars around her head.
The last one is a vintage image of three adorable siblings standing in a row and I added Santa hats to each of them. The background is vintage sheet music and there is a date stamped for 12/25/2008 along with black alphabet beads that say “Merry”.
I love the idea of using ATC’s for things other than just collecting, like hanging somewhere around the house, a book mark, gift tag or in a tiny frame.
