an artist trading card (ATC) DREAM
created 02 May 2005 ©2005 by aisling d'art
This ATC was created in an hour; that's the time I'm allowing myself for this project, each day.
I started with the background, which is a public domain photo of Ireland. (I've listed all of my resources,
below.) Then I added a dramatic figure--slightly altered--from my Shameless Hussies 1 Clipart CD. (She is nude
to the waist.)
After creating the text for the word, DREAM, I wanted to add a little more fantasy to the piece, so I
started playing with some Dover butterflies.
I wanted a rich, faerie-like ATC, with a sense of wonder and magic. I was a little rushed, trying to complete this
within an hour, but I'm pleased with the card as well as the challenge of this.
To print a full-size card at 150 pixels per inch, right click on
this link and
Save the image to your hard drive. Then, print it at 150 pixels/inch. The finished card should be 3" x 5".
This card is copyrighted, of course, but you can freely print it for your own non-commercial use, as long as you don't alter
it.
