I am still wrapping my head around the idea that it is already December but I'll get there. And to help me find my holiday cheer, I am hosting an ATC challenge for the 12 Days of December.

If you are unfamiliar, an artist trading card, let me give you a small bit of info. An ATC is a small (2.5 in x 3.5 in (6.35 cm x 8.89 cm)) piece of art. They are often traded at ATC meetups.

For this challenge, I want you to create a set of three ATCs with a December theme. They could be any holiday you celebrate (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc) or more generic such as Winter or Summer/Tropical (you live in a warm climate).

Here is an inspiration board to help you get started.

I can't wait to see y'all's creations.

Can someone please translate the ATC Card size to Pixels? My software does not do inches or CM. Thanks.
 
hi, google says 1050×750 pixels in a 3.5×2.5 cm image. HTH
(And out of interest, what software do you use? i thought the rulers on most programs could be changed to whatever suits you and wherever in the world u live - metric vs imperial etc)
I use MS Paint. If there is a Inches & CM option, I just can't see it.
But I am not too worried. Thanks for the reply.

Using the version that is part of Windows 11 (hopefully it's the same in other versions), go to File then Image Properties and you can choose dimensions using inches, centimeters or pixels. You can find the cm dimensions in the first post.
 

Greeting cards are not just a love of mine, they are my passion. That's why I made another set of Christmas cards. I will print out all the cards and give them to friends and family (as I do every year).


Merry Christmas! I wish inexhaustible inspiration to all creative people!

Thanks for the challenge, Cindy. Each ATC has a photo, a glitter trim border, and some wordart. One also has a charm. I also made sure they didn't overlap just in case that might not be OK. This got a lot of my photos ready for print. :D
 
uh! as I saw that it was necessary to show (well, I think) the cards with the right dimensions, I put my cards back in individual
full
