And this is your first ATC??? You are amazing, my friend. I'm not sure where to begin, but here goes:
- I really like the ribbon embroidery. I also love the one rosette that's visible even when the card's open.
- Your embossing is wonderful. The metallic gives a great contrast to the ribbon textures on the front.
- And how creative to make a card that opens like this - gives you more room to decorate. I've seen some front/back ATCs, but nothing like this.
Wow, this is beautiful!!!! I love your ribbon embroidery (something I've been wanting to try; but haven't). Congrats on the beauty and execution of this piece.....love it!
Gosh Trudy, you sure are creative my friend!!! I love your ribbon stitching and gold accents! Not sure, if my two left hands could create something of this magnitude... The pink bows look very cute and not too girly. Very cool ATC!
Oh my - this is absolutely stunning! the ribbon embroidery looks drop dead gorgeous!!!! definitely a favorite so I can go back for inspiration! This is so up my alley :o)
What a nice surprise!!!! Of course I will trade with you!!! It looks soo lovely, and even with my initials on!!(making me cry now!) I love the gold, and the roses!!! I`ll send you a PM!
So glad Suecross looked up ATC for me! This is magnificent Trudy! Ribbon embroider is also something I've never heard of, but it looks just fabulous, and hard to do! The gold embossing is stunning. I love the way the front shows the back also. This is just gorgeous! I love ribbon and girly-girly, so not much help there, although I believe the color does a great job of bringing out the pink in the roses.
this is beautiful, trudy........ i think it's perfect without the bow, but since it is small enough, it's a nice touch............ great job, my friend...............
This really turned out great! You have quite the talent, your Highness! (Truthfully, I didn't know what an ATC was. Had to look it up to find out that it is an artist trading card!) I am majorly impressed with the gold plate." And, no....the ribbon doesn't look "too girly!" It looks great!

This is my first ATC. My Norwegian friend, scrapaholiker, made a wonderous ATC...and I WANT one. That is, if Karen will trade with me. I don't create cards, as they are two small for me to work with. So it was a challenge to do a 3.5"x2.5" ATC. Tried to paint one with my waterpaints (That was a disaster). Next, I tried an embossing technique (Why me, Lord!). Eventually, I decided to quit messing around and do some ribbon embroidery. Its been years since I 'stitched' with ribbon and finally... got it right. The embossed gold insert, with a mirror finish, is prettier for real. It reads, "Created for you, with Luv". Is the pink bow to girly-girly? I love ribbon, however, I'm not sure it fits on this ATC. Thank you for looking and please, let me know what you think. Any suggestion or critique is appreciated.
