So, Just What Are Itty Bitty Cards?






Well, they're these, three inches by three inches, to be exact. I'm not sure where or how they originated, but likely as a variation on the popular Artist Trading Card (ATC) which is baseball card-size rectangular.
These pictured above are for an Itty Bitty Swap and project challenge by ARTchix Studio http://artchixstudio.com and our Yahoo group. The requirement was to use faux postage stamps from ARTchix, and since two of my faux pet post stamps were just published by ARTchix, of course I jumped right on this. I also used some of my "real" cat postage from Zazzle.com, reasoning that I would spend more than 41 cents on other supplies or clip art anyway. These are a spoof on high-end designer purse ads for those non-fahionistas reading this.
ART chick Susan Burgess, aka Sanna, gives a great tutorial on itty bitty cards here: http://www.artchixstudio.com/create/classroom/class_ittybittys.htm. Very cool; she got me going!

Published!


Check this out! http://www.artchixstudio.com/mall/p318_info.asp. As I mentioned before I was selected as an artist for the ARTchix Studios pet faux postage sheet, which is to be printed and sold in the on-line store. Today, I saw what was chosen (see link) and feel privileged to be among the artists chosen. Two of my ATCs were selected, and I am excited that one is one of my all-time favorite sketches, and the other is a photo of our sick boy, Larry, so this on the day he came home from the hospital, made Larry and me both feel better! Please go and buy a gazillion copies and check out all the other wonderful ARTchix products. They're the best!
