The Ambrosia Journals
I did a journal page in my new Woodlands themed journal. While the Ambrosia Journals are not necessarily appropriate for the theme, I had a desire to work with the bright colors and the style. That led to Artist Trading Cards made from the page. I know that "copies" are often frowned upon by true ATC enthusiasts, but I do like working this way. I take a photo of a journal page, have it copied, mount it on box board and then go on to further embellish or sew around the edges of the ATC. It's a very satisfying way to work as I find it very difficult to work on the true size of an ATC. 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" is far too small for these tired eyes to work on.

You know what?!? It's YOUR art and I"M happy that you do it the way you do! :)
oh pooh to that Ingrid, if you enjoy it then that's all that matters. LOVE that button border and your ever cheerful bright colours.
I think you'd have to be a total purist to object to these creations as they are so perfect and to me, it is a brilliant extension of your journal page that can fly out in the world and be appreciated. Beautiful. penny
I agree.. your art is YOIR art and you can do whatever you want ! I love the ATC's -- the colors seriously jump off the page (or screen so to speak !)
I love it! It is so fun and such yummy colors. I love how you sewed around the ATC's, that makes them especially yours! I say, make them the way you like them!
Hugs and blessings
