Description:
I love building decks with altered playing cards! Never heard of them? Altered playing cards (APCs) are almost like ATCs, but you have to use a real playing card as a base. The playing card HAS to be the same size as an ATC (2,5 x 3,5 inches), so that usually means a poker-sized playing card. You decorate the card with the same way as an ATC, but at least the top left corner suit and number must be left visible. So this swap is for all of us who want to start a new APC deck or to get new cards for existing decks. When youÂ´ve signed up for the swap, youÂ´ll post preferably at least three different themes of cards that youÂ´re collecting to the Comments-section below. If you have no specific themes, give at least some ideas for your partner that youÂ´d love to get. You then make one card for your partner from the wishlist! Please use collage/ mixed media only - leave the top left corner suit and number visible - put the same information on the back of the card as for ATCs (your name, username, location, card title, date etc.) - remember to post your wishes below - If you have any questions or concerns about the swap, feel free to pm me!

Found that Bicycle brand poker cards are usually the perfect 3.5 x 2.5 size. I found a Zombie deck at Walmart the other day ;P

Poser be more specific who do you consider the dark gods... and can we use symbols because that's gonna be a little hard to decorate

Doodlebug are you serious I have to go to Walmart now and I live in a little town I bet we won't have them

Hearts with tombstones, Day of the Dead, Steampunk or clowns

I have no cards like this whatsoever, so any suits would be good. I'd love either Halloween themed, bats, or witches.

Snoopy, Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock, or not so gory Halloween themed, animals are awesome too.

Went ahead and assigned. No lurkers/watchers. I'm going on vaca tomorrow and wanted to finalize the swap. Don't worry I'll be able to pop in and see how things are going while I'm gone for the next 10 days. XD

Just noticed the post regarding me. To me dark goods are ones who deal with vengeance or the underworld or less than pleasing things. Like Papa Gede or Hera or Kali. And symbols are fine for me.
