A.T.Cs Introduction ATC are a collectable art form which gives you the opportunity to achieve works of art quickly and use all those beautiful supplies you bought for your scrapbooking/stamping! Basics First, an ATC mustn't be sold, only exchanged, as the whole essence of these tiny works of art is about artists meeting (by correspondence or online if need be) and exchanging their works, thus meeting many artists and getting exposed to many personal styles. On the back of each ATC you write the following: name, contact information, title of the ATC and number (1/8, 2/8...etc if it's part of an edition). Also it must be 2.5” x3.5” or 64 x 89 mm. in size. A good rule of thumb is the rule of three (1, 2, 3) which is explained in detail in the book Artist trading Cards an anthology of ATCs by Somerset Studios. Basically it means one main focal image, two pieces of background paper, and three tiny embellishments. ATCs really have an open ingredient to them you can use any mediums you like at your disposal. Some are even made digitally on our computers, or photographically, painted, stamped, sewn etc and themes are numerous. I hope you will check our gallery and see some that have been created. Above all else HAVE FUN! Please join our email group at Yahoo or contact me at Scrapbook_Junction@bigpond.com PS. You can see past ATC's in our Gallery!
