Stamp Scraps, Part II by Judi Kauffman

Here’s an Artist Trading Card, another project featuring scraps from a sheet of Forever stamps. (FYI: The scraps bordered a sheet honoring first responders.) Just like the previously published collage cards from Stamp Scraps, Part I, this ATC is a good way to use the zig zag-edged adhesive-backed bits that surround and/or separate postage stamps.

The photo above shows the finished ATC embellished with Tim Holtz words and a vintage photo of a dog, also from Tim. The photo below shows the ATC base created with solid color cardstock, topped with painted corrugated cardboard, wood grain patterned paper, and the scraps from the postage stamp sheet.
