Here are the ATC’s I’ve made so far this year, except the ones that have not yet been received; I don’t want to accidentally spoil surprises
I had created the background on this card ages ago to use up paint, and to be honest I can’t remember how I got that textured effect… But it seemed like a good background for a dragon. The background is acrylic and the dragon and mountain are made with markers.
This one I made for a “reading” theme, but I happen to know the recipient loves cats, so I added some “cat humour” into it
The background on the one below was also made with leftover paint from another project. I re-created a card that I had made for the greeting card swap, but the colours are more muted because o the background. The background is acrylic and everything else was done with markers.
This is a “doodle” one I made to use up black cardstock. I made it with metallic permanent markers.
I made this mermaid ATC as part of my package for the “invite your partner swap.” I had this “fabric” laying around, and I thought it would make a fun mermaid tail.
I had a lot of fun making this one. I Googled “X’Men 97 cartoon” and landed on someone’s VHS collection, which inspired me to draw this:
For someone’s “colourful bird” theme (I think I may have already posted about this ATC elsewhere, but here it is again anyway:
Another dragon (I really enjoy drawing dragons):
For someone’s “ornate dagger” theme:
I ran an art/active games day at our Catholic homeschool group, and I had the kids make faith-based ATCs to trade with each other. I made some as examples, so they could see the variety of things they could do. This angel one ended up as a gift for fellow choir members:
This collage one was an example for the toddlers/younger kiddos in the group:
I also made finger-painting examples for the toddlers:
A couple of lettering example for the older kiddos:
A pencil drawing example, not my favourite (I’ll learn to draw faces some day…)
