ATC Challenge with a Spring Theme

A little birdie has flown onto my first ATC (artist trading card) and I'm so excited to share it with you today!

I used a new watercolor set for my ATC that I found on Amazon.

I was first introduced to them by ArtSnacks and their February Box Breakdown video. If you don't know about ArtSnacks go look through all their "kits" I know you'll find one that is calling your name. I loved getting a little box of morsels last year!

So my trading card!

Supplies: I provide some product links that are through my Amazon Affiliate, and that means when clicked and purchased in the same session a few pennies are sent my way at no cost to you.
