Have you heard of this creative art form?  Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art the size of playing cards, 2½" wide by 3½" high, and are traded or swapped, but not sold. ATCs are about giving and sharing your art. Amazingly, artists have found ways to incorporate painting, collage, stamping, watercolor, transfers, beading, stitching and/or found objects onto these miniature canvases.  Most ATCs are cardstock but can be 3 dimensional with pop ups, doors, spinners and other embellishments. The results are simply great fun!  There is no theme so you can create your heart's desire. 

This year traders will be identified by a special pin on tag which you will receive at the registration desk.  Enter your creation at the Stampede convention registration desk for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate. The drawing will be held at 2 PM which will allow ample time to spend that gift certificate at the show (open until 4 PM).  You must be present to win.  This will also be a good time to trade cards with others.

Note that the winner will be named by a random drawing of all traders.  In fairness to those who create numerous ATCs, please don't enter the drawing if you don't intend to trade!!

So, what are you waiting for? Get busy making those trades!
