Paint Party Friday: Artist Trading Cards


Last Saturday, my sister Patsy and I had a paint party (otherwise called a workshop)!  We introduced some ladies to the fun of making Artist Trading Cards (ATCs).  Here are some of the cards I started then (they aren't finished)...


We cut our faces from magazines and painted over the faces.  Do you recognize which one was Jennifer Lopez?


From a page of my daily prayer journal, an illustration for Matthew 11:28, for those of you who are starting to feel the busyness of the coming Christmas season.

Join other artists in Paint Party Friday!

  5. It looks as though you had a fun morning. I love sharing a craft session with friends.
    The painting over magazine pictures is an interesting idea, and you are certainly making some lovely ATCs.
    The verse from Matthew is one I should keep up on my fridge door during the busy time leading pu to Christmas.
