I've been working on some ATCs (artist trading cards) to trade at Festival in Chicago and for an online swap I'm thinking of participating in.
I had some problems with the ones on the left. I layered puff paint over some tulle on fabric on cardstock. Then I put a couple of layers of paint over the whole thing. Trouble came when I had a bright idea: instead of cutting the cards with scissors, I decided to take it to work and use the paper cutter. Easy - right? Nice, even, straight 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch cards. Ha! In my defense, I rarely use the paper cutter. It's not my job. So when it came time to measure, I cut one of the strips at 2 inches instead of 2 1/2. So I lost three potential cards. Now I have to think of this as an opportunity to use smaller pieces somehow. More later...

Inchies perhaps? But use your scissors this time or a craft knife.I love the patterns on your cards. Cheers, Robin
