Ocean Haiku Artist Trading Cards

Using the pre-cut cards that a friend of mine sent to me, I made the following artist trading cards.  I had bought some cute stickers that I placed to one side of the cards.  I then went online and found some ocean haikus and a haiku about buttons (for the last card), then wrote them on torn pieces of papers.  Next I watercolor painted the papers to match the cards that they were going to be placed on.  When dry, I glued them in the empty space next to the stickers.  They seemed a little to plain though, so I added some glitter glue to spice them up a bit.  I like them.  They are simple, but they are still nice to look at.  Sometimes simple is best.  I wanted to include a link to the page where I found the ocean haikus, but I can't seem to find it again.  They also did not have any author's name attached to them.

Having Fun with Artist Trading Cards

Summer Elegance
Today I had some fun making these artist trading cards (ATCs) using stickers and, with the exception of the first two, pre-cut cards that a friend sent me.  The first two cards are from a paper that I watercolor painted on.  These were just for fun and I needed to make a bunch for an ATC swap that I recently joined.  I do want to add some of my hand drawn ones to the swap as well.
