Hero Arts ATC

Since I started card making, I was following Hero Arts blog and its flickr group. Tons of talented artists contribute to the site with lots of wonderful submission. Of course, the weekly challenge held by HA also serves as a great motivation for the fellow card makers.

To me, however, I seldom join those challenges. Besides my technique is not up to par, the challenge closed on Sunday night and to me, that's just not the best time. I often started working late and do not think I would be able to meet the midnight submission deadline.

This time, the challenge theme is extraordinary. It's not only about the usual card making; it is not even talking about traditional bi-fold card. It's about ATC.

"ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. These little beauties measure 2.5″ x 3.5″ or 6cm x 9 cm, similar to baseball and playing cards. The purpose of ATC’s are to trade with other artists. They are really great to collect and display."

It sounds fun and I'd be glad to receive quality work from other HA members. So I decided to make one (actually one design x 10 copies).

In the end I made 2 versions and submit to the ATC challenges but for the actual ATC card swap, I have until Oct 23 to send. So I may design more ATC, will see. :)

Which one do you like more?
