Artist Trading Cards Patch Program®
2″ Embroidered Iron-On Patch.
This 2″ iron-on embroidered patch is part of our patch program®.
ATCs or Artist Trading Cards are small pieces of artwork measuring 3.5″ x 2.5″ which are traded with other artists online or at an event. The small baseball card size makes it ideal for trying new techniques or subjects without committing to a large canvas. Any type of media can be used. If this is an activity you would like to continue. Set up a binder with trading card sleeves to store your cards.
