TPD: Beginner's ATC - Outrageous Fortune

This is the original swap Terry originally started

The swap is for anyone who wants to try making an ATC. Everyone in TPD is certainly welcome to join, but should be aware that they may be receiving someone's very first effort, so please be kind in rating and providing feedback. Thx.

It would help if you could let your partner know if this is a first or very early effort, or if you are experienced in this technique.

General Info on ATCs: The only rule about ATCs is that they must be 2.5" x 3.5" (6.25 cm x 8.75 cm). Please make sure they have a sturdy backing (e.g., light cardboard, several layers of card stock, heavy drawing/painting paper). When finished, they should not easily bend. You should also provide the following info on the back of the ATC:

• Date
• Title of Swap
• Group Name
• Your Swap-bot Name
• Your Signature

If you want more info on ATCs, click on "Glossary" at the bottom of the page - it takes you to an alphabetical listing of common SB terms, including ATCs. (You can also Google ATCs and find all kinds of good information)

• Theme: "Outrageous Fortune".

• Read your partner's profile and come up with an "Outrageous Fortune" based on their profile. Make it creative and fun (as in a Chinese cookie fortune).

• Your ATC should represent the fortune.

• Make sure to incorporate the actual words of your outrageous fortune in the ATC design.

• While any technique is allowed, please use primarily paper to make your ATC. Other materials may be used as embellishments (but no sticker slapping, although judicious use of stickers is certainly allowed).

Although highly unlikely I will angel if you are flaked on AFTER you rate your partner a 1. If you flake on this swap, you will be reported to FOPS (Flakers and Other Problem Swappers Group) and promptly removed from The Paper Dragon.
