Here are a couple views of my Artist Trading Cards. I have to say, I am new to the world of Artist Trading Cards. I find myself stuggling to acquire the skill to create on a much smaller scale. I met a wondeful group of ladies through the Weyburn Art's Council who create and trade their spectacular work....so I can blame them for my new AAH(Art Addiction Hobby) which is similar to ADD...I have that also...lol

This particular Artist Trading Card was made for a swap on the Gingerwood ATC group. I loved the technique and I decided to make some more and send along to our artist trading gal with the Technique Junkies Group.
I incorporated two different techniques...from TJNL (Technique Junkies Newsletter). I have been a paid subscriber and group member for many years. These two particular techniques are called Antique glimmer and Cuttlebug Highlights.

I used various brand inks, Glimmer mist sprays and one of Stampin Up's Textured Impression's Embossing Folder - Elegant Bouquet.

Cardstock used in this project is from Stampin Up

The beautiful satin ribbon is Seven Gypsy's and the brown die cut strip was made using a Martha Stewart Border Punch.
