ATC's are a nice small size.  A Great way to use up all those scraps of CS, paper, ribbon, etc.....I usually like to make a stack once I getting going.  I have a collection to share with you today.   I will detail two of them today and the rest later in the month.

ACT's are great for business cards, tags, or why not write a message on the back and send to someone special.  Let's see what you can make for the challenge!  Check back for the details on the other three ATC's.  Hope you are having a great day!  Love ya.

Artist Trading Cards with Carnival Girl Stamp

Hi Dreamers,
Really hot here today in Michigan.  90's today!  Too hot to be outside.  I stayed in and stamped some fun ATC's (Artist Trading Cards- 2.5 x 3.5")  I used one of my favorite stamps from Blockheads-Carnival Girl.   This stamp and all other items are now 75% off  on the Blockheads Web Store!  (No coupon needed) You could picked up this stamp for $1!   Take a look at my ATC's.

I made the backgrounds by placing inks, spray inks, and stains on a craft sheet.  Add a few drops of water and press the CS into the inks.   Let dry and trim to size.   Stamp Carnival Girl with Archival inks.

I added lots of fibers and ribbons to my little cards.  The cards are so small, I was able to use ribbons from my scrap bag.    I will put my contact info on the backs of the cards and use as a business card.
