Winter Whites Artist Trading Cards - Postmark by February 25th

Maybe if we have a "Winter White swap" now, the snow will melt earlier?  One can hope...

Some definitions of "white" from a Merriam-Webster dictionary include "free from color... light... lustrous.... unmarked by writing or printing..."

On August 18, 2015 Karen hosted a "Winter White Sparkles" post card swap and on July 27, 2017 we had a "White On White Textures" post card swap.

This time we will use a smaller format for those who enjoy making and collecting Artist Trading Cards.

The size format is 3+1/2" x 2+1/2" and it may be oriented either horizontally or vertically.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use only white items to create layers.  
There are slight shades of white, 
whether soft-white, bright white, 
or off-white, etc. 
(Just check out the paint chips at 
your nearby hardware store!) 
Please limit all of the elements on your
Artist Trading Cards to white.
A layered effect with various media
will make it more interesting.
So paint, collage, emboss, spray, sculpt, texture!

Some ideas to get you started:
acrylic paint, White-Out, paint pen

molding paste, spackle, stucco paint

Magic Mesh
