Alpha Rub-Ons and Crayons
Collage
Medium
Rub-on transfers are a fun way to add crisp lettering and shapes to your artwork. Practice on scrap paper first until you're comfortable with how they work. Place the transfer where you'd like it, rub firmly with the popsicle stick, then gently lift the plastic to check that the design has transferred completely. Layer letters, overlap shapes, or create interesting patterns before finishing your ATC with crayons or colored pencils.
Once you feel the card is complete, sign and date the back.
(Optional: Glue an ATC backing to the back of your card and fill it out.)
