Here is my "By the Sea" Artist Trading Card

This Artist Trading Card was created with the contents of this month's ATC kit of the Month.  What a great kit to get in the mood for the 4th of July and the summer beach weather.  The only other 2 items that I used to create this ATC was a pair of scissors and some glue.  This "By the Sea" ATC will be given free with every order placed during the month of July 2014.  Head over to the store at www.yourATCstore.com

By the Sea Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month - July 2014

Here is this month's ATC kit of the Month
"By the Sea" based on the papers from the Graphic 45 Paper Collection

Here is a list of what you will find in this month's ATC kit"
1 - 3 in. x 4 in. double-sided piece of Graphic 45 By the Sea - Beachcomber
1 - 3 in. x 4 in. double-sided piece of Graphic 45 By the Sea - Pier 45
1 - 3 in. x 4 in. double-sided piece of Graphic 45 By the Sea - Splash
1 - 2 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in. ATC sized card cut from the double-sided Graphic 45 By the Sea - Set Sail
1 - image sheet with 7 different beachy stamped images using Staz On Black Ink and stamped onto cream colored heavy cardstock.  Images include a frame that you can cut out, as well as a piece of nautical rope, a sea shell, a seahorse, a compass, large anchor and small anchor.  All these can be cut out and used to create your By the Sea Artist Trading Card.
1 - nautical red and white ribbon piece
1 - twisted burlap ribbon piece
1 - small silver starfish charm (you can easily cut the loop off with a pair of sharp scissors)
1 - retro nautical beach beauty collage image (I have chosen 2 different retro beach beauties for this kit.  The images have been professional printed.  One of the two images will be included in each kit).  If you are placing an order and would like a specific one, then just leave a note in the comment section when you check out. (either the one on the boat or the beach side image)
2 - tiny star shaped brads.  These can be used to attach your image of use in the center of the compass.  I used them at the end of the rope image in my ATC.
and of course, lastly a clear Artist Trading Card sleeve for your completed "By the Sea" ATC.
This kit should be a lot of fun with 3 great double sided papers from the By the Sea Collection.

Below are the 4 different papers that I chose for this kit.  This way you can see all 8sides.
