For 8-10 år siden laget jeg massevis av disse små, artige greiene, og vi "swappet" og inspirerte hverandre på kryss og tvers av landegrenser. Så glemte jeg dem helt, tror jeg... Kortproduksjon tok alt fokus. Helt til jeg for en liten stund siden fikk invitasjon til å være med i en Swap (byttering). Og herlighet, jeg hadde helt glemt hvor befriende det er å lage ATC'er! For det første er det en knakende artig størrelse på dem (2,5x3,5"). Det er ganske smått. For det andre er det No Rules - verken på teknikkvalg eller oppsett. Her er det fritt fram for lek, eksperimentering og moro. For det tredje, så er det så uhøytidlig. Det liker jeg.
Jeg fant denne beskrivlsen av ATC på nettet:
What are artist trading cards?
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5".
How did the movement start?
In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.
How do I create ATCs?
Most swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques as long as the card fits into a standard trading card sleeve. ATCs are traded, not sold. However, there are some artists who choose to sell cards. Cards that are sold are called Art Card Editions and Originals (ACEO).
How do I trade cards?
You can locate an in-person swap in your area, find an online swap, or organize your own swap. There are a number of Web sites that others have created to help artists get started. They can be found by doing online searches using key words such as “artist trading cards.”

Serien på bildet ble laget til temaet "Wings/vinger". Jeg laget et bakgrunnsark i størrelsen A4 først, og brukte paste og tre-stensilen. Så prayet jeg i vei med blått og grønt i forskjellige nyanser flytende blekk. Stanset så ut blader fra gamle boksider og limte på med decoupagelim. Ostekluten ble sprayet og tørket før jeg krøllet den sammen og limte den på. Fuglene (MemoryBox-die) ble stanset ut i fra bakgrunnsarket. Vingene er fra en fugledie fra Kort & Godt - stanset ut i gullfolie. Øynene er små gullperler. Tekstene er fra roteskuffen - klistremerker fra min spede scrappebegynnelse...
