My First ATC

This swap is for people who have always wanted to get into making Artist Trading Cards, but may have been too intimidated to join other swaps where people may be more advanced ATC makers. The idea is to create two cards for your partner, 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" that use, as a key element, the color green. The motif can be anything you wish, and they can certainly be made of anything you wish, but they have to have green be a key element in the card.
Since these are your first, or among your first, ATC's they don't have to be too terribly fancy pants, the idea is really just get initiated and get comfortable with the techniques so that you are comfortable with making ATC's. Do your best, naturally, but don't worry if it's not high end. You will send the two cards, along with a letter telling your partner about yourself and what sorts of materials you like to work with when in your art. If you use any techniques that are unusual it would be great if you described how they are done in the letter as well.
