  3. Hi Paul!
    Thanks for commenting!

    How to create an artist trading card in my way.

    Start with a fabric and sketch your motif on the fabric. Make sure the textile is bigger than the finished card, I usually leave about an inch of extra space.

    Decorate your fabric with stitches and colors. When you feel finished, glue a cardboard back (I use cereal boxes, they have the right thickness). The measurement is 2.5 x 3.5 inches (63 × 89 mm).
    Glue the edges down on the back and finally, put a name tag on the back with your information. They are easily found for free on the internet.
