Fingerprint Art ATC

New to Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)? Or just want a fun, easy project? This is the swap for you. :)

You will create one ATC for your partner, using fingerprint art. If you've never done fingerprint art, it's not difficult - it only requires a creative mind, a stamp pad, and some markers or colored pencils.

Use your web browser to search for images titled "fingerprint art" or "thumbprint art." There are also images on Pinterest. This is not fine art. It's whimsical, free-form, and fun. If you use a colored or printed background, make sure your fingerprint image shows up clearly on top of it. Try not to create just one tiny image in the middle of your card with a lot of white space around it. Think of how you can fill the card with your image(s), or add a border or some text.

Sender's choice for theme, but check your partner's profile to make sure you're not sending anything on their dislikes list. If they don't like purple, or spiders, then you definitely don't want to send a fingerprint spider made with purple ink. :)

Inspiration here, and here.

An ATC must be 2 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches in size.
Make sure your card has neatly cut edges and is uniform in size.
Use sturdy card stock, or back your art with card stock or recycled cardboard.
Please include the name of the swap, your name, and the date on the back of the card.
Send on time.
Rate promptly and accurately.
If there are problems, communicate promptly and graciously with your partner and the swap host (me).

Have fun!
