If I'd had this book years ago, I could toss out all my other books on collage, altered books, decoupage, etc. This book describes in detail every technique you need to collage, decoupage, and decorate on paper or whatever medium you choose. It also discusses the various mediums and paints used and has excellent instructions for each card pictured. And, yes, the pictures are exquisite eye candy, as another viewer mentioned. They also inspire and get you motivated to make your own cards.

Next to Totally Tangled, this is the best art book I own. Each technique that the author chose to highlight has its own step by step instructions, and can be adapted to nearly any format...they're not ATC specific.
Ooooh, how I love this book!! It could inspire a ROCK to rock 'n' roll!

A great source for techniques and inspirations for those who want to create and swap Artist Trading Cards. Even if you are not interested in ATCs, there are plenty of pages of inspiration to use in the art and crafts of your choice.

This book was introduced to me at a Young Adult Round Table meeting last month and I immediately wanted to look at it more closely. Even if I never make artist trading cards, I still like seeing the techniques used because it can translate into card making, which I enjoy doing!
This book has wonderful visual inspiration. There is some how to with pictures and limited writing. The book covers using multiple materials. There is a gallery of visual artist works.
This book will make you go dig out your paints, markers, bits of ephemera, ... and will give you inspiration and the dare to try anything!
Step-by-step hands-on techniques for ATC creation with 127 pages of examples, including great art by Michael De Meng and Stacie Rife.
Some of the pictures are great but instructions were confusing to me. Not a great book for making these the first time.
Lots of fun art techniques not just for ATC's! Terrific eye candy and inspiration.
Not much explanation of techniques, but serves as a good source of inspiration.
inspirational
I've been working my way through all the exercises in this book for a technique discussion at ATCs for All and have had a lot of fun with them.
Cool idea. Tiny paintings that you make and then trade for other tiny paintings. Good for those of us who would love to collect art, but have no space or money. Let's Trade!!!
I've used many of the techniques from this book in my own art and have shared methods with my students, as well.
Excellent book on making ATC's with lots of different techniques, good instructions and lots of awesome examples.
This book is full of really neat techniques and wonderful examples of little collages
This book is really handy, and I love most of the artwork featured.
So many great ideas and cool techniques. I might need a copy of this one.
too cool...lots of ideas & inspiration!
