Kerry’s First ATCs

Posted in KerryWordsmith by kvwordsmith on May 4th, 2008

Not sure if this is what to do or how to do it, but here’s my first attempt at making artist trading cards.  I had fun!  An extra “Clevah girl” to the first one who guesses the background material for the green card (which says “Simplify everything” - hard to read on this scan.)  Kerry

    These are wonderful! My guess is that the background of the green card is either a leaf of some sort or the rings of Saturn. I’m I anywhere close? :)

    Nice work. I haven’t had the courage to try ATCs.

    I love art work- I can’t even do stick figure drawing and when I do everyone thinks it’s SO funny.

    The world is FULL of comedians.

    Kerry, I’m thinking the background on the green card is stained glass. It looks like glass to me. Great work! Genece

    These are great, Kerry. Anything goes with ATC’s. I’ve only made a few; aren’t they fun?

    I think the background to the green one has to be a piece of glass!
    You can use virtually anything as the background to ATCs. Welcome to the club Kerry, I have been making and swapping them for a couple of years now and I know there are others within the group who make this miniature masterpieces.

    Fabulous Kerry, hard to believe these are your first ones - they are really good.
    Looking forward to trading with you ….perhaps we can establish a place on Soul Food to trade……………..

    Quite a few clevah girls out there, who have figured out the mystery material - yes, the “glass geek girl” used a 2.5 X 3.5 rectangle of stained glass for the green ATC - the glass is so beautiful to me you don’t really need to add anything, but I put a couple of little embellishments on, so I could play ATC with the others. I’m willing to start trading with anyone interested…that will keep me producing, so I have enough to trade!

    Vi, they are really not hard, and I don’t consider myself an artist at all, but these are just pure fun!

    I guessed glass, too (no peeking, I swear!).

    These look like so much fun. I really need to try them out myself.
