I Completed an ATC set

First of all, let me explain what a ATC is. ATC stands for Artist Trading Card, which are consider miniature pieces of art that are passed on to others. They are usually created as a set with a centralised theme.

And even though I am by no means an 'artist' I was required to make 12 ATCs for a calendar group I am part of. Each participatant will receive one of the set and as I am also a participant, I will end up with 12 ATCs all from various people.

They are just for fun. People will hold onto them etc. Some people display theirs...

So any way. For my set I decided to use just one word for each card. Words that depict life or how we should try to live our lives. This is my very first attempt at making a set and I am really happy with how they have turned out.

One the back of each ATC, I printed out a copy of all the other words in the set and stuck them on.
These are them individually.......



I get no choice in who gets which one...and because I cant decide which one to keep Im posting them all off to the person who is putting together the calendars and distributing the cards.

Hey there Hannie, thought I would pop by and catch up on the goss. Loved all your ATC's for the Calendar Swap BTW I was most impressed to receive the 'dance' ATC. I did wonder what all the words were about and now I know. I love to dance so I think it was in the 'cards' that this little masterpiece came my way. Thanks also for your lovely Calendar Pages I was most impressed with your artwork. I keep looking at it again and again and each time I see something new.
Love you work.
