ATC Trading

I have nine new ATCs posted for trading on the Facebook group I belong to. I tried some new techniques with some of them this time. The middle one in the bottom row has already been claimed.

Here is the first batch that I received in March from different artists.

I realize that I seem to be choosing cards created using different techniques than I typically use, either because I don’t like doing it or don’t feel that I’m very good at it. For example, colouring line images is something that I don’t have the patience for and when I try, the results are not great. So I generally don’t do it. Trying to do something like the one below would put me in the looney bin, for sure.

Collage is another technique that I struggle with. Perhaps it is the perfectionist in me telling me that what I do is ‘not good enough’. But you will notice that I did put on the big girl pants and created collaged backgrounds for three of my new ATCs for trade. It is something that I will continue to work on.

But who knows, maybe some day I will even try colouring images again. And maybe I will get better at it and come to enjoy doing it. Never say never!
