It's Monday again, and that means it's time for another Crew Challenge from Kitchen Sink Stamps! This time, it's my turn to host the challenge! I picked a challenge that challenged the heck outta' me! I asked everyone to create an ATC (Artist Trading Card) with their Kitchen Sink Stamps, and then incorporate it into a card. It was challenging for me because I've never made an ATC before! But here's what I created...
ATC's are traditionally 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" in measurement. The white cardstock on mine measures 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" and the pink layer is just an 1/8" bigger all around. Then I discovered that I could cut out 2 scalloped rectangles with my Nestabilities, and layer them to make the rectangle just a smidge longer, and the ATC fit!
And here's my ATC on a finished card.
Check out these ATC designs from the other Kitchen Sink Crew members, too!

I've made a few ATCs with KSS but I've never incorporated to a card. It's going to be a fun challenge. TFS~
