Outline That!
Draw
Easy
Instead of seeing letters, numbers, or symbols, look only at their shapes. Choose one or two cutout pieces and repeatedly trace around them across your ATC blank without overlapping the same outline. Rotate the shapes as you move around the card to create interesting patterns and spaces. Once your design is finished, use the colored pencils or markers to fill in sections, challenging yourself to keep the same colors from touching whenever possible. Try your own variation on the second card by changing the rules or experimenting with different combinations.
Once you feel the card is complete, sign and date the back.
(Optional: Glue an ATC backing to the back and fill it out.)
