Materials Required
For this you will need Paper Mania spring collection papers, Black Stazon (or any other permanent ink), eyelets, Tim Holtz distress inks in Scattered Straw and Dried Marigold, glitter glue, Anitas small Easter stamp with 2 rabbits, Sizzix Tag die, card, eyelet setter, Marvy Metallic pen in gold, white Sakura Gel Pen, Double sided tape, scissors, baby wipe or kitchen roll, off cut of ribbon, clear vellum.

Step 2
Cover your pre cut ATC with the backing paper using double sided tape
ATC size is 2.5' x 3.5'

|
Step 3
Take your piece of vellum and tear one edge, trim to size so that is roughly covers half of the card. Attach with eyelets. Brads can be used as an alternative but I would cover the back of the card to hide the split pin. Stamp your image using a permanent ink pad.

Step 4
Using your alcohol free baby wipe pick up some ink from the scattered straw ink pad and smudge over the vellum being careful not to wet it too much as the vellum will ripple. Then using another part of the wipe gently colour the rabbits with the dried marigold.
Using the Sakura White Gel Pen fill in the rabbits tails and glitter glue dabbed onto the little flowers at the bottom

Step 5
Because the tag is smaller than the stamp, I have masked off one of the rabbits using a post it note. The sticky edge will adhere to the stamp without leaving any residue. Ink up the image. Remove the post it note and stamp onto the tag. Remember to position the image so that the half you require is central on the tag.

Step 6
Using the same distress ink pads and baby wipe as before smudge the edges with the two colours to create a distressed look. Using the dried marigold, again colour in the rabbit using the wipe. Colour in the tail with the white Gel pen and glitter glue on the flowers. An off-cut of yellow gingham ribbon has been threaded through the hole at the top of the tag.
Using the Marvy Metallics gold pen, run around the edge of both the ATC and tag. This will 'frame' them.

Finally
When all the inks and glitter glue are dry, slip the tag inside the pouch on the front of the ATC. It is now ready to trade.

ATC - Artist's Trading Cards have become very popular. ATC's are swapped and not sold. Each one is a miniature work of art which can be as simple or difficult as you choose. The size of the ATC is 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches - roughly the same size as a standard playing card. Details on the back contain the title of your design, your details ie. email address and information containing the materials used and the date it was created. They are great for using up all the off cuts of paper, ribbons etc.
