Crystal Hikara: Artist Trading Cards are individual art miniatures which pass hand to hand. Some sources have credited M. Vänçi Stirnemann, who began trading sessions in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1997, as popularizing ATCs in the modern era, although modern ATC's can be traced back to portrait miniatures and to a kind of business card popular with Impressionistic era artists. Artist Trading Cards are typically made on a base of card stock. The only standard requirement for an ATC is that its height and width measurements be 2.5" x 3.5", either vertical or horizontal orientation. The sky can be the limit for every other aspect of the art. Also, see my signature for an example of an Art Trading Card I made. You sign your name on the back of the card and put the date, year ect. Also, if you're doing a series you put #'s on the card ^___^ wooper happens to be the first in my 'shiny' series.
