Artist trading card. What do you think when you hear the word? It may be one of many things, one of which may be completely black. It is a beautiful creation, ATC, and it has become more and more popular as an art form over time. In short, the ATC or Artist Trading Card is a small decorative card measuring 2.5" x 3.5". They are smaller than many art journals or scrapbookers, but they usually get used to it after a while. I know that I don't want to exchange my first cards because they look terrible, but I get better and learn how to incorporate my regular skills into my artwork. There are actually two different ways to make ATC. A single way, or an unexpected discovery method. I will talk about these two methods in this article. I usually use the singular method, but both methods work.
The first method I want to discuss is the singular method. This person is my favorite, but it may take a while to adapt to this technology. Basically, you take a card and cut it to the right size [2.5" x 3.5"]. Then you will be busy decorating it, just like you usually do art. You can use paint, clay, paper, pens, beads, molds, inks and stamps; anything you would normally use. You can get some very simple designs or some very complicated designs on this card. Usually you will use card stock, but you can also use metal, clay, cardboard or cardboard. Or anything else you can think of. You can even use plastic if you can find some way to cut it. Anything you can use as a foundation that is not too thick. You want it to fit into plastic cases [the ones they usually use for baseball cards].
The second way to make these cards is to find a large piece of paper; it might be card paper, a page of a large book, a textbook page, or maybe a newspaper. Then you go to town. Molds, stamps, graffiti and paint. Do whatever you want. Then you can simply cut it to the right size. After doing this, sometimes people add 3D decorations, sometimes they just add titles or words. After they are finished, they are ready to trade! I recommend trying both methods and seeing the method that is actually right for you. It may be completely different from my approach, or you might come up with your own method! Either way, just create, experiment, and have fun!
