My first attempt on Artist Trading Card (ATC)

Awhile back

I joined this facebook group

where a group of scrapbookers and paper crafters 

gather to make monthly ATCs for exchange.

The first theme was "friendship"

And here is my take on it :)

Firstly, I used kraft cardstock and trim the cards to size

and use a boarder punch to create the notebook edge

Then I use distress ink to ink the edges

This instantly gives the paper a vintage look

I use a scallop circle punch to punch out several circle

which i then cut into half

attach down

Then i cut the white cardstocks into the ATC size

and attach the kraft cardstocks after i tie a burlap twine around

it's my favourite way of adding just a little texture to every card :)

Using stazon ink and Amy Tangerine Stamp set

i stamped the words "Hello Friend"

Then I use my favourite butterfly punch

to punch several butterflies out

there are 2 size

i strongly recomend this punch :) 

LOVE IT TO BITS!

I usually punch a bunch from my scraps lying around my desk 

and keep them in a zip lock bag

I stuck down the butterflies 

using some glue dots that i roll up

so that the butterfly have a dimension

And I call this all done :)

Thanks for stopping by 

Till next time !
