NH: Sunflower ATC - US Only

It's August now and small signs of autumn around the corner are evident here in New England. For me, the sunflowers that bloom this month are summer's beautiful farewell, so I thought we could celebrate summer - and August - with a sunflower ATC!

You'll have one partner and create one ATC for them. ATCs must meet the following criteria:

• ATC size is 2.5x3.5" (64x89mm)

• ATCs must be created using a sturdy base. If it flexes easily, it's not sturdy enough. Bristol board, acrylic paper, thick cardstock, etc. are all acceptable bases - printer paper or scrap paper are not.

• ATCs must be sent in a protective sleeve or envelope.

This ATC may be hand drawn or painted, collaged, mixed media, sewn...the sky's the limit, really. It may NOT be hastily scribbled, sticker slapped, or a stamp on a piece of scrap paper. Put time, effort, and thought into this little work of art for your partner - and make sure that your focal point is the sunflower.

In a Nutshell

• Create one sunflower ATC that meets the criteria listed above.

• ATC may be either profile or landscaped orientation. Sender's choice.

• You may use any media you wish - collage, mixed media, stamped, hand-drawn or painted, etc. Please put your best effort forward!

• The art form is sender's choice, so you can start at any time.

• Include a note and make sure that you annotate your name, username, and swap name on the back of your ATC as well.

• ATC must be in a protective sleeve or envelope

The Administrivia - Please note that all Newbie Helpers rules apply, but here are a few more considerations:

• You must have a well filled out profile.

• I will check all profiles prior to assigning partners. If you have late swaps on your dash, you will be removed from this swap.

• Include a note with your name, username, and the swap name and ensure that it's on the back of the ATC too.

• Send on time. Rate promptly upon receipt. Sending late without communication warrants a 3 rating.

• Rate according to the Swap-Bot Rating Criteria.

• If you are going to be late sending, make sure you let your partner and me know prior to the send-by date.

• Hearts are purely at the discretion of the rater.

• If you are flaked on, let me know. I will angel this swap after you rate a 1.
