"ACEO" stands for Art Card Edition Original, and is used to describe Artist Trading Cards that are meant for sale.
They are individual, one of a kind, original, handmade, tiny works of art. The constraints of the discipline are the vertical and horizontal measurements, They must be 2.5" x 3.5" (6.35 cm x 8.89 cm), in either a landscape or portrait orientation. Depth of the the work is not restricted.

This Art Card Original is done on Strathmore Brand acrylic paper. Acrylic paper is a specially prepared heavy, 246 lb. (400 gsm), card stock, that has the texture (sometimes referred to as "tooth") of a primed linen canvas.
The collage is various colored and patterned collage tissues cut into heart shapes and affixed to the card over copper metallic acrylic paint. A layer of acrylic clear matte medium was added, and this was allowed to dry. Then using a natural sea sponge a thinned pale green and blue mix of acrylic paint was dabbed onto the surface, to add the patina effect. The work was then sealed with a matte acrylic clear finisher. It's signed and dated by the artist.

Just exploring some collage and acrylic techniques with this one. I did a wash of thinned copper metallic acrylic and then cut out some hearts from some greenish and printed tissue. Then I put it all together and gave it a coat of acrylic medium.
