Today I made my very first ATC (Artist Trading Card). These little 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ cards are very popular, but I had never made one until now. It’s all because I wanted to CASE this card in today’s Featured Stamper’s gallery. Debbie’s owl image is larger than the one I have, so I had to improvise. I’m really happy with how my card ultimately turned out, too!
The owl was stamped with Basic Gray ink on Whisper White card stock and punched out with the 1-3/8″ square punch, then adhered to Baja Breeze card stock. I added some piercing instead of real stitching. The two little DSP squares measure 1″ x 1″ and were also matted with Baja Breeze card stock.
Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate motherhood today!
