HOW TO MAKE AN ATC OR ALTERED TRADING CARD and
BEGINNING IN ATC ART save scraps of papers, pictures, magazines, glues. Gather a few items together, Use an old playing card or cut cardstock to size 2 1/2 x 3 1/3 inches.
Take crayons or markers and doodle, and get an idea, a one word idea, or theme.
Write it decoratively on a piece of scrap paper, or type it in a fancy font.
If you have some ink pads around you can use it to darken the edges of the card.
Glue your designs on, and then embellish with a button or a charm or some ribbon.. whatever you have.
WHY NOT START with One of these words?? What do you see when you read the words?
HOPE, PEACE, SAFE, HAPPY, ENCOURAGE, DELIGHT, FRIENDS ,JOY, THANKFUL, GRATEFUL..
When you finish your card sign and date and mark your email..
YOU NOW HAVE ART IN YOUR POCKET!!!
Now find a friend to trade your Altered Trading Card WITH , AND TEACH ANOTHER FRIEND IN PAIN HOW TO DO THIS!
I Hope this adventure gave you a pain free day... as you enter the collage world of ATC's.. I warn you, they are like potato chips.. you will want a million!
