Something for Everyone in ATC Size


My ATC Mixup Swatton #1 and ATC Mixup Swatton # 2, each 9" x 12" with 9 images apiece, are sized just right for making Artsit Trading Cards, but I've used them in a variety of ways, including bookmarks, gift-tags, greeting card covers, dangling ornaments, even refrigerator magnets!  They're also sized right for taking on trips; just add an art journal (or loose papers) and watercolor pencils and a brush with a water reservoir such as this one.

ATC Mixup Swatton # 2 (9" x 12")

These 18 ATC stencils (with bonus masks) offer something for everyone.

The art sample below is destined to decorate the side of a white paper gift-bag.  It's printed with Desert Blooms from ATC Mixup Swatton # 1, on a background of glossy black cardstock that had first been spattered with metallic bronze and blue acrylic paints.





From the hint of desert above, it can be a quick easy trip to Antarctica --








Penguin, from ATC Mixup Swatton #2, was inspired by my original 6" x 6" mask Penguin Family, which looks like this:

Other ATC-sized designs of mine have been inspired by my earlier-released stencils and masks.  Among them --





Above:  Ornamental Iron Curls from ATC Mixup Swatton #2 was used to print the central image with red interference acrylic paint on glossy black cardstock.  This design was inspired by my 6" x 6" mask Ornamental Iron Curls, which is shown below and which was used to create  the print that serves as the background above.  Glued together, they're now on the cover of a 6" x 6" greeting card.

Another way, of course, to combine the new ATC versions with their namesake originals, is to make one print using them both....





Above:  the ATC-sized Mikki's Flowers mask from ATC Mixup Swatton # 2 was printed on the same paper that I'd already printed with my 6" x 6" Mikki's Flowers mask, which also comes as a stencil:

my 6" x 6" Mikki's Flowers mask

Note:  Altho the new ATC-sized masks and stencils resemble the older larger versions, they are not exact duplicates.  In the case of Mikki's Flowers, for example, I changed the size, number and arrangement of the flowers.

Below are two prints made with ATC-sized Mikki's Flowers by itself.  Both were printed atop flower photos from old picture calendar pages.
