Artist Trading Card - Restored

Recently I restored my infatuation with Artist Trading Card (ATC) by signing up a few ATC swap at Swap-Bot. What is ATC? Read it here : very thorough introduction to ATC.

Here are some of my previous ATC, made by me, for my own pleasure and collection. Back in my hometown, I have a few more dozens of ATC sent to me from other artist. I am looking for a way to store them, but they are slightly larger than business card size, so I can't keep them in business card file. Right now I just tuck them away in my craft drawer, some inside metal boxes, some became my bookmark.

I love vintage style collaging and mixed media.


Chinese pin-up girls. I collected alot of those ephemeras and images.


The tea ATC is my personal favourite, there is real Chinese tea leaves inside the handmade tea bag.


Do you notice that I use a lot of butterfly and wings images? They are my favourite.


And stack of ATC blanks and cardstock, some I cut out from cereal boxes and some sent to me from my swap friend.


So tonight I have an ATC challenge to complete, alphabet theme, D and E. Hmm...what to make?
