Playing with ATC's....

You know, it's not very often that I play with Altered Trading Cards, but when I do, I love these little cards. Over the weekend at the HHS cybercrop, Catherine Scanlon hosted an ATC challenge. As part of the challenge, she posted some save-able clipart to use in your ATC's and one was a vintage image of a little girl holding an egg and chick. Well, that image inspired my Easter theme for this trio of cards.

If you have never seen ATC's before, they measure 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". They were created as a way for artist's to trade art pieces. They are super-fun to make once you get your brain wrapped around working in that small of a size. They are always to be traded, never sold.

For this series, I worked mainly with the Scenic Route Easter line (that I can't remember what it's called and am too lazy to go look it up right now.) I used one of Catherine's images and then a couple of mine that I had saved. {A great site for free vintage photos is http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/vintageresources.html ...you can right-click on the images and save them there to print later.}

I hope that you all are doing well this week. I am crazy-busy trying to get ready to go to Texas for Spring Break. So many little things to get done and take care of and I am already going through withdrawals thinking about not creating for a week. I may have to figure out a little travel-studio to take with me. :)
