SWL ~ ATC/MA used stamps.

Hi there,

Let's make something using used stamps. I collect them & recently found a stamp collector shop (AMAZING, RIGHT?!!) in the countryside that sells hundreds, thousands, millions of stamps :O I purchased two "packs" of stamps. I want to use them as well as collect. :]

Right. You'll have two partners & you can either make them an ATC, or mail art. You have to use used stamps on both of them.

An ATC is a small work of art, made the same size as a playing card, on a sturdy background like card. Collage it, paint it, add some used stamps, maybe some paint or glitter or ribbon or text and you're done. Make your best work. It must feature used stamp/s.

Mail art. Please make your partner either a handmade postcard (sturdy background please, this is international) or mail art envelope, featuring used stamps.

You are welcome to do both. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

Now, because I personally love a challenge; please comment below with what you would like to see on a stamp. Your partner can then look below, and either use a stamp featured that in their art or send you a stamp featuring that for your collection. This is not mandatory however please comment below with something because I will be doing this in my swap and need to know what you would like. You can be specific or not. For example, "I would love to see stamps with birds, cars, or food."

Please make sure the used stamps you are using or including are in good shape and are not damaged. I understand they've been through the postal system because they are used but make sure they are in 1 piece. Please don't use any that have been sellotaped, and please do not sellotape them on your ATC or mail art.

Finally, while it would be nice for partners to include a surprise inside maybe some stamps or profile surprise, only a small note is required.

Happy Arting & Stamping!
