A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge #1

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the very first challenge from the ATC (A Tiny Craft) design team!!

Our theme for the month of August is anything goes.

Pretty easy right??

If you are not sure what an ATC (Artist Trading Card) is...here's a super brief description:

An ATC can be a card or a coin. 

Cards are 3.5 x 2.5" and coins are 2.5" in diameter.

That's it!

Other than the size, you can create / decorate them anyway you like!

I really had a lot of fun making this one, I started by painting the ATC base red, then masked to do layers of white and blue, used my stylus to make the dots on the flag (my eyesight is NOWHERE near good enough to have painted tiny stars), then I sanded it to distress it, added the paper dolls and sentiment and voila!

Here's what I made for the very first ATC challenge:

Shite I used to make this ATC:

• Cardboard ATC base
• Red, white and blue acrylic paint (Artist's Series)
• Paper Dolls (Tim Holtz)
• Small Talk Occasions sentiment sticker (Tim Holtz)
• Sanding block (SU)

We would love for you to come check out the ATC challenge blog and play along with us!
