I fell in love with this little Kewpie doll image the minute I saw it. Something about Kewpie dolls is so kitschy-cool to me. I knew she had to go on an ATC (2.5″ x 3.5″ artist trading card) when I next got the chance to make one. I started with a light...

My friend Shann (YT: Shannon Pratt) is a real animal lover (like me). She is hosting an ATC (Artist Trading Card, which are supposed to be little works of art measuring 2.5″ by 3.5″) giveaway challenge, so I knew I wanted to make a little puppy themed ATC...

For this card, I used a Little Miss Muffet stamp called “Ice Cream Bench”. I think the little kids enjoying their ice creams is just so cute. Did you notice how their free hands seem to be overlapping, like they’re holding hands? How sweet is that?!...
