Description
These were made for a swap in 2003. Felt tip pens and sections of an Army manual.ATCs are the size of a playing card, or, not coincidentally, a trading card. ATC = Artist Trading Card. It is really fun working on the small canvas once you get used to it.

this whole card thing sounds like fun. Never heard of it before

It's a lot of fun. I have a notebook full of cards I've traded for. Each one a piece of original art. It's fun making them and collecting them. Also a lot of fun learning to work on the small canvas. Try it!

For those particular ATCs that I wanted to color in marker, I cut cardstock to the dimensions. But if I'm going to paint them or collage, I use sandpaper to strip off the slick coating and then prime with gesso to give the card some tooth.

ATC's, I had NO idea. I want to do MANY of these. Do they have to be an exact size? Let me know. This is SO cool.

Yes, they are 2.5x35, the size of a baseball card. Then you can use the trading card collector sleeves for the ones you get in return. They are also the size of a playing card. I do all of mine on playing cards now. These were done on cardstock, however, so I could color them easily with the markers.

It's actually 6 individual ATCs. but it would be cool to do something like that with mutiple ATCs. I hadn't thought about that.
Hey, if you like these, take a look at this set of 6 I made for a different swap: [link]
