ATC Nature Series: #3 Wild or Exotic Animals

Please make an ATC based on your favorite wild or exotic animal. The style of your card should be semi-realistic or realistic or vintage. No cartoony images please.

This is an ATC series based on nature. We will have 9 ATC themes so if you join all 9 swaps you will have enough to fill an ATC page protector. (Same as a baseball card page protector.) We will have a make up swap half way through and another afterwards in case you miss one or two. You do not have to enter the whole series though unless you want to but I hope you do!

These are senders choice except for avoiding anything your partner hates so you can probably make them ahead of time. We will have one every three weeks.

1. Flowers 2. Farm or Domesticated Animals 3. Wild or Exotic animals 4. Birds, Eggs or Nests 5. Plants & trees. Makeup. 6. Landscapes 7. Beach (land) 8. Ocean (water) 9. Pets or Butterflies. Makeup

Remember this is Spoiled Swappers. You MUST spoil your partner! Extras are nice but not required; your art alone should spoil your partner. Make it nice! :)

This is not a pass-it-on or trade swap. You must make this yourself.

*If you use rubber stamping, please stamp cleanly; missed areas, smudges or double lines are not acceptable.

*Please check your partner's profile and avoid dislikes both in colour and theme. You may make this profile based if you wish.

*Please do not use computer generated images or sentiments because I have been very disappointed by images printed in very poor quality lately. (If you print them well using very good quality paper and ink, your partner won’t know and can’t rate you badly for it can they?? Wink wink!) And no magazine cut outs.

*Please make a beautiful ATC you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive.

*The ATC must include a total of at least 3 layers and/or embellishments. You must use all quality craft supplies. No cheap junk. If you have excellent drawing or painting skills, a flat ATC done in this style exempts you from the first part of this rule. 

*Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight. Colouring needs to look adult, not like a child did it. Please don't be discouraged by these rules. I am only referring to general tidy work, not tiny flaws.

*Please have a 4.97+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me ahead of the sign up deadline. Newbies are welcome with WELL FILLED out profiles (About Me, Likes, Dislikes at least) and MUST PM me at least 3 days before the end of the swap to show good intentions. A newbie is someone with less than 5 completed and rated type 2 or 3 swaps. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out but there shouldn't be any on a group like this! If you are really worried, give me a heads up! I’ve been flaked on so many times, I've stopped keeping track, so I get it!
