A friend of mine (on Instagram) ask if I'd like to do an Artist Trading Card exchange last month so I created these sea-themed mixed media ATC's to send to her. Lots of dimension and texture (two of my favorite things!) on these fun cards.
Here are the beautiful ATC's Rebecca sent me (visit her Instagram page here)

ReplyDeleteThe seaside theme turned out great, love how you did them on text paper, great mixed media feel to them, you received great ones in return. I did one of those once, I am thinking of using the one the girl sent me on a card :)
