Shaped ATCs

By
Artist trading cards don't have to be 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 rectangles--you can make them any shape you like.  I try to technically keep to the standard dimensions, meaning that somewhere the card is 2 1/2, and somewhere it is 3 1/2.  (The captions are links, by the way.)
Mr. Poe and his Raven
This Poe gothic arch atc is 2 1/2 inches at the base, and 3 1/2 tall.


This bird shaped card is 2 1/2 from the top of his little head to the bottom of his tummy, and 3 1/2 inches long.

Easter collage atc
This egg shaped collage also meets the technical size of an atc, but obviously in egg form!

This last gothic arch topped atc also opens:
an atc sized triptych

The next time you're out to make an artist trading card, consider the possibilities of creating in not-rectanglular shapes.  

Happy Thursday to you!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

By
Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
