the atc bug has finally bit me

so i decided to join an atc swap with the fiskateers. i also was invited to join a local atc group by my very talented friend daniela.

so here's my first stab at it...the fiskateer swap is an animal theme. i love my dragonfly punch, so i went with it, kept it simple.  my next try will be edgier. it's harder than i thought it would be to design something interesting in such a small space!  

fyi for those who might not know...atc stands for "artist trading card." they are 2.5"x3.5" and artists make 'em, trade 'em, collect 'em.  my collection officially began with the atc lorraine sent along with a gorgeous little art purse and necklace she made me!
