What??? Yep, let's do a No Paper ATC. The backing must be something other than paper...think wood, felt, you can do it!! I know it!!
Then nothing on the card can be paper. Think lace, embroidery, fabric, embellishments, buttons....but not only buttons, OK?
The theme will be senders choice just make it beautiful. This will be a little challenging but fun!
(I got the inspiration from a magazine I was looking in.) I immediately thought of my farm girl friends.

Please do your best work and have fun!! Smiles
An Artist Trading Card (ATC) is a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch card that has a cardboard backing (cereal boxes work well when cut to size) Then the front of the card is decorated by either painting, covering the card with pretty paper and then embellishing it with buttons, lace, or metal objects. Most have a theme assigned to them, so you decorate according to the theme. They become addictive when you start. You can google ATC and many different kinds will come up. hope this helps!!

Ok...I've been away from here far to long and have missed what an ATC is. I have seen it on two swaps already but I honestly don't know what is being swapped...LOL :) Help a new old farmgirl out with the new lingo?

Welcome Anita!!
Hi Maddie, I edited the original post to say we would put our info on a small piece of fabric and safety pin it to the atc. How about that? Smiles...you are fast...Got mine cut and put together, just need to do some embroidery....

Beth,
Do we have to use fabric, or is anything ok as long as it's not paper?
