Artist Trading Cards

It was ATC swap here in Vancouver last Sunday.  Here are a few ATC's I made for the swap:

Random Backgrounds - Part 2

I used more random backgrounds to make ATC's to swap at the Vancouver Artist Trading Card Group:

Stamps by Tim Holtz and I Brake for Stamps

Stamps by Hero Arts, Paper Bag Studios, and Lazerwerx

Stamps by Hero Arts and Judi-Kins

Stamps by PSX and Eureka

Be Happy in the Moment

I've been playing around with various collage techniques.  This background was done with chalks - the white lines have been erased with a white eraser and a ruler.  Thanks to Jeannie at our local stamp club for this demo!

I'm busy preparing swap cards for the Part of My Art stamp club that meets the last Saturday of each month at the False Creek Community Centre on Granville Island, here in Vancouver, BC.

I hope any local stampers will join us - new people are always welcome to drop in.  Be prepared to smile - we always share a lot of fun and laughter.

March Vintage Collage

Here's a sample of some more vintage collage Artist Trading cards I'm working on:

I applied acrylic paint to a security envelope and then stamped on top of it.  The bead embellishment was inspired by Stamping Mathilda.  Godelieve is one of the most inspiring stampers for me.

The word for the October ATC Word Swap was "Smile", and here are some cheerful ATC's the mailman delivered to me recently:

Just the thing for a dreary, rainy day, and we're certainly getting a lot of those.  But the sun is shining today!  So smile!
