Antique Trading Card ATC. For this ATC swap I used an image from the Graphics Fairy. It is a scanned copy of an antique Trading Card for Liebig Company’s Fleisch-Extract. It shows a fantastical fairy or dancer standing on a cotton reel. I thought that was quite apt for an ATC swap.

The image was printed out on Epson Premium Glossy Paper. It is much clearer in real life. I made the frame with some black card which I embossed with an embossing folder. I then used a gold coloured gilding wax. Again, the result is much better in real life. I filled the card with some size 11 blue seed beads and some copper Charlotte beads.
