Books - Artist Trading Card Workshop
I decided rather than spending hours on the web perusing ATCs, I'd see if my local library could give me a hand. Speaking of, it's amazing how many people don't use the library or think that's it's a waste...I can't find a better bang for $12 a year personally!
This book is called Artist Trading Card Workshop by Bernie Berlin and was published in 2003. It has a really good intro to the concept of ATCs as well as some techniques to apply to the cards, such as stencils, ink blotting, fabric, embossing, transfers, etc. which was really good. I could definitely see using some of these in future projects.
Speaking of which, I decided to do something about my paper horde and spent some time cutting up cardstock tooday. Watch for future ATCs coming down the pipe!
