What is an artist trading card aka ATC -

Artist trading cards, or ATCs, began in the tradition of business cards, but with a personal, artistic twist. Most ATCs are created on paper, but they may also be any other medium that can be worked in a suitable size. ATCs are traditionally the size of baseball cards and other trading cards. They're a fun way to exchange your own one-of-a-kind artistic flair with other artists you meet. You can also use them as business cards.

What is the size of an ATC -

Artist trading cards are generally 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches

What can I use to make one -

Heavy card stock or cardboard can be used its up to you to use what you use. It would be great if they were on something heavy. I normally use card stuck and cardboard on the backing of it.

Mediums - pen/pencil, markers, material, rubber stamps, etc.

Check out Pinterest for ideas.

Please make the atc something you would like to receive back. Do your best and use whatever mediums you would like to use to create your own piece of art.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER MADE ONE BEFORE, WHY NOT JOIN IN AND GIVE IT A TRY.
