Artist Trading Cards or ATCs as they are known are little pieces of art that you can create out of scraps. There's only two rules: they have to be the size of a playing card (2 1/2" by 3 1/2") and they are not for sale. They are strictly for trade. If you go on websites like www.flickr.com and punch in artist trading cards, you will see how beautiful and well known they are. And it's just the thing to get started when you're playing with paper. Instead of having this huge canvas to fill, you have this small space to play and experiment. Once in a while when I get into a creative rut, I usually turn to doing these ATCs to get myself going. I hope you like them.
