IQCG #57 - Encouraging ATCs

Hello friends,

Have you checked out the new Challenge at Indian Quilling Challenge? 

This month we are going to play with ATCs - Artist Trading Cards.

An artist trading card (or ATC for short) is a tiny, original piece of art created with the intention of swapping or trading it with another artist, not selling it. An ATC must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches or 64 x 89 mm in size. ATC are not limited to just mixed media! You can use all kinds of papers, embellishments, paints and inks to create them. Please remember we are a Quilling challenge blog and Quilling should be the focus of your project for it to qualify to win the prize.

In this challenge you will need to create 3 ATC's, a group or a set. Each one should be matching. Please remember we do have some Challenge Rules to follow so look them over to ensure your entries qualify to win this month's prize! 

 I played around the Ocean and used some encouraging sentiments for my ATCs.

I majorly made the waves with 3mm strips and added the props to give each of them a different meaning.

Stay Strong -as a boat in the rough seas. 

Don't give up like the - Migratory birds crossing oceans. 

Be a  lighthouse - lead/guide people to safety and success.

I hope I have inspired you to create ATC.
