coffee themed trading cards



Today I sent off 7 of these cards to Arizona as part of an ATC (artist trading card) swap. The theme was "a cuppa joe" and the cards in the swap will be displayed in a local cafe. As part of the swap I will receive 6 cards back from various places in the U.S. The cards are 6 X 9 cm.

I painted the card with three layers of paint. Next I collaged on a picture a crazed squirrel that I found in a British magazine ad for kid's clothes. For the pattern stamp and the coffee mug stamp, I carved erasers from the dollar store. Finally, I sewed the 'thought bubble' on the final card.
