I had so much fun with the Inchies Give-Away, that I thought I would do one for Artist Trading Cards. Above are some ATCs I made in 2007-2008 that are part of the Give-Away package today.If there's anyone reading this post that is not familiar with Artist Trading Cards - also known as atc's, go here to read about the history of atcs.
The simple ATC rules to follow are that your atc must measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches (64 X 89 mm), traded and never sold!, flat enough to fit into a plastic trading card sleeve, and signed and dated on the back of the card. I like to put my e-mail and blog address on my cards as well.
Only one rule for this Give-Away: Leave a comment that includes a one-word Artist Trading Card theme for 2009. That's it!
Also included in the Give-Away, are these black matboard substrates I use for a lot of my atcs. They originally come in huge sheets that the Marketing department at my "day job" throw away after a promotion. I rescue these sheets and cut them down to atc size using a Guillotine trimmer. I will also include some backgrounds I have created to get you started . . .
The winner of this Give-Away will be announced at noon on Wednesday the 31st. Tell a friend!

Sherry,
How about 'sublime' as the theme? That word and it's connotations take me away to a peaceful, perfect place...someplace I need to visit more often!
Hope
Sherry...
How about "ekphrasis"..."art that describes art"? [I can see your face now...lol.]
"Ekphrasis is generally understood as a skilled way of "describing" art and other aesthetic objects after it was learned as a tool of rhetoric. Using the rhetoric successfully was a means of demonstrating prowess, as a scholar and writer and eventually ekphrasis became an art that described art."
Generally refers to a detailed literary decription of a piece of art. But wouldn't it be cool to take something literary and represent it visually. I can see challenges throughout the year...and sharing the interesting artistic interpretations.
OK...if that doesn't work, how about "undamaged"...hehehe
love you!
CREATE that is what I would do if I won your giveaway!! Laurie

What a great idea to confiscate the materials that are getting tossed at work. Here is a good word for an ATC theme: REPURPOSE!
Here is to finding many things to repurpose in 2009!
