And now for something different

I have tried a new technique today, tea bag folding. This is using small squares of pattern paper, folded and then made into a pattern. I have made this into an Artist Trading Card (ATC).

ATCs are 2½ by 3½ inches and usually traded for another ATC with a fellow crafter.

I have used papers downloaded from Circle of Crafters and followed their simple steps to make my first item using this technique.

The base of the ATC is mountboard and I have also used my Krylon 18kt Gold Leafing Pen, a small flower punch, a circle punch and Gold Stickles.
