Many of the ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) I design include using canceled stamps. For those of you who are not familiar with an ATC, it is a small miniature piece of art that is 2" x 3" in size.  Their general purpose is to be traded, not sold.  ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) are created by artists for sale.

The back of my ATCs always include a title; my signature & contact information; and a current postage stamp that is hand-canceled by the post office.  If it is a series, then I also include a series number, too. (e.g. 1/4 . . . one of four in this series).
