Jess Makes an Artist Trading Card

Hello! In the past week, I have visited the ER with my son for the first time (he is fine after a five foot fall from his bicycle at the skate park, but he sure scared us), primed and painted our garage, unpacked four boxes in my office, had insomnia till 4:30 a.m., watched my son cut his own hair the night before the first day of school, and taken a class about how to can tomatoes among other things. I also made some Artist Trading Cards after a girlfriend mailed me an article about them with some she made.

my very first ATC!

 I have seen ATCs all over Etsy and the blogosphere for awhile but never made any before. It turns out my trusty gouache set makes a perfect stress-relief companion while I'm on hold with banks for my day job!

Have you ever made an ATC? I see what all the fun is about, I mailed off two sets already to my friends. If you want some, leave me a comment and I'll send you some next week. :)
