This challenge is to make at least two Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) using the masterboard technique.
Here is one
video tutorial on making a masterboard. I'm sure you can find others as well.
Since we will be using our masterboards to make ATCs, use heavy cardstock, bristol, watercolor paper or the like, as it will be the foundation for your Artist Trading Card.
If you wish, you can make yourself an ATC viewer by cutting out an ATC sized hole in a larger piece of cardstock or paper. You then move the viewer around your masterboard until you find an area you'd like to use. Trace around the ATC opening, and now you know where to cut out your ATC.
Use a 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch piece of your masterboard as the base of your ATC and add more stamping, trims, embellishments, maybe ink the edges ... and show us your finished ATCs.
Challenge:
1. Make a masterboard. I suggest 8 1/2 by 11 inch or larger.
2. Take a photo of your masterboard before you cut it up! You may even want to make a copy of the whole, before it becomes parts.
3. Make 2 ATCs using pieces cut from your masterboard as a base.
4. If possible, add your masterboard as an image attachment to your reply to this post. Put one photo showing your two ATCs in the gallery with the keyword for this challenge, which is
ATCINF145. Keep one ATC for yourself and mail one ATC (yep, they are meant to be traded!) I will post a list of swap partners at the end of Inktoberfest. Keep it simple, just stick the ATC in an envelope and get it mailed in a timely manner.
I will randomly draw a name from all qualifying participants and send a RAK.
Thanks for playing! I look forward to seeing your creations. Please ask if you have any questions and share your experiences.
ETA :
And the winner of a RAK is ...
Heidi!
Congratulations Heidi! Your package is ready to hit the PO! Thanks for taking my challenge!
ATC Trading Partners : As ATCs are meant to be traded, I thought it would be fun to trade at the end of this challenge. I pulled names out of a bowl in pairs. Please keep it simple, just seal one of your ATCs up in an envelope and mail it to your trade partner. Message each other if you need snail mail addresses. Please reply to this thread when you receive your ATC so your partner knows it's safe and sound! Thanks so much for playing!
