CHALLENGE #101
Our very own, and super fun, super TALENTED Lori Barnett, wants to see you creating an ATC. (also known as ARTIST'S TRADING CARDS).

If you are not familiar with ATCs, these are miniature works of art, approximate size of (2 ½ X 3 ½ inches), or, (63 mm X 89 mm), just small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media and usually traded or exchanged rather than sold. The sky is the limit in this fun art.


For this ATC challenge, we proudly welcome back our GREAT SPONSOR, Simon Says Stamp who will be offering one lucky YOU a $15 Gift Card to the wonderful Simon Says Stamp store! Sooo, if you want to win this fabby prize, be sure to join us!!
