Bandana Artist Trading Cards

I've been having a blast participating in the monthly ATC swap hosted by club member, Lynn L, on the Club Scrap Chat Facebook Group. 

I enjoy the challenge of creating 2.5x3.5" works of art inspired by one of Club Scrap's monthly kit themes. It's similar to designing a card, but in miniature. 

The ATCs below were created featuring Club Scrap's January 2024 Bandana collection. (The swap requires we make nine ATCs for trading.) I usually create my Artist Trading Cards with the monthly stamp sheet and Pack of Panels.

To recreate my design, follow the steps below. 

1. Place a 2-3/8 x 3-3/8" Aqua panel into a stamping platform. Add the paisley image with India Ink, repeating as necessary to achieve a crisp impression.
2. Color select areas of the paisley image with a white pencil.
3. Remove the Aqua panel from the stamping platform. Mat with a 2-1/2 x 3-1/2" Red panel. 
4. Stamp the "compliment" sentiment nine times onto 8.5x11 Super Smooth White Cover Stock with India Ink.
5. Carefully trim each sentiment from the sheet. Cut along the lines between each "compliment". Remove one by carefully tearing it along the top edge. Adhere the white stamped panel to the center of the Aqua panel.
6. Repeat the steps above to create eight additional ATCs.

I'm pretty happy with the results. I look forward to seeing what others' have created after the swap is complete. 

Until next time, happy crafting!
