ATC theme Trees

Next task is a set of ATC cards for a swap, with a theme of Trees.ATCs are 'Artist's Trading Cards', they are swapped, but not sold. (There are also 'Art Cards' which are somewhat similar, these can  be offered for sale, on Etsy, the art and crafts website,  or
elsewhere.)

 However
I have a selection of positive and Negative images of trees. I will print them onto cotton and also
onto paper. I may use stitching on the cotton, not sure yet, and also I will coat the paper images in beeswax to make them translucent. I will see how it goes!


I printed the images on cotton, then on paper. I brushed beeswax over the positive and negative images, then using the Spotlight Technique, I cut a circle from the waxed image and placed it over the fabric print. I used the negative image in the first and second atc. I then machined stitched around the edges and mounted them on cream paper over silver card.
