Description:

Altered Text ATCs can be very basic, with just the color covering most of the words, or more dressed up with embellishments. The fun part is blocking out most of the words on the book page to make an interesting phrase or sentence!

For this swap, we will make our 1 partner 2 ATCs in the colors yellow & green. We're going to dress them up a little bit. Each ATC should have something on it other than just the color; outlining, doodles, images, embellishments, etc. Just something so it's not totally plain.

The book page should take up most or all of the background of the ATC, but you don't need to use an original book page. Copies are acceptable. Text should be primarily in English.

Recap:

  • 1 partner

  • Two cards -- one yellow, one green

  • Something other than just the color

When I do these, I coat the words I want in Diamond Glaze et al., and then when I paint, the paint rubs off the glaze easily in case I hit a word I want to keep (I'm not a great painter!). Just a tip to maybe make it easier!

Prior swap was red&orange. Upcoming swap will be blue&purple, so we'll have a rainbow!

I love doing these, but I am in the U.K. if anyone in the group would like to do a private swap, please pm me.

There is a regular ATC int'l swap up and running for those looking for int'l ATCs.

I'm also considering hosting some altered text ATCs that are International in the future

Sorry for late partner assigning, moving is nuts! Glad I already finished my cards. :)
