Tea with Earl Grey ATC


Still on my ATC kick, I made this ATC today . Earl Grey is the name of the Cat my Friend Jessie is the proud room mate of. She sent me a bag of tea in her latest correspondence with me. She created these tea labels of her Cat Earl Grey and attached them to the front of Earl Grey tea envelopes. I carefully pealed back the label and used it in my ATC today.
I truly enjoyed my cup of tea and creating this ATC.

More ATC's Such fun!


I am really enjoying the creative fun of ATC's here are some of the ones I have made in the last few days for swaps.
I have joined a few tea and coffee swaps and love including ATC's with them.
I am so thrilled with how this one turned out, while I do not drink coffee, this is by far my most favorite ATC this week. I love Deborah Harkness and her A Discovery of Witches series and am so happy with how this one turned out.
 I also tried my hand at hand drawn ATC's with the addition of this Killer Whale for my Swap Bot partner, who loves coffee and Killer Whales. I much prefer collage to hand drawn but I guess if I had too I could do some hand drawn ones.
Thanks for stopping by today and I would love to hear from you so please feel free to leave a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com

Tea Themed ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) by Karen Owen, of Karen Mom of Three Designs


I have been making ATC's for a few years now and thought I would use my first post here to share the 4 Tea themed ATC's I made today.

Artist Trading Cards are art cards you make and trade with other ATC Artists usually through the mail.

I use Swap-bot to swap my ATC's. These tiny pieces of art can easily slip into an envelope and travel the world for the cost of a postage stamp.
I prefer to make Collage themed ATC's but there are so many more ways to make and create these pocket art treasures.
Anyone can make and trade these treasures, my boys who are ages 12,10 and 5, love to make and trade with their friends both at home and through the mail. Classes, Clubs and more would benefit from making and trading ATC's.

I look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks and months, thank you for stopping by, as with all my posts I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com
