In this tutorial, I’m showing you how I made an Artist Trading Card (ATC) using an inked embossing folder technique—and let me tell you, it adds so much texture and color! Whether you're making ATCs for swaps, junk journals, or just for fun, this is a must-try mixed media trick that’s simple but makes a big impact.
I also link the playlist of my previous ATC projects below, so be sure to check those out for even more inspiration!
