Basic Black-Dark Hearts ATC Supply-International

Dark Hearts is a swap for people who like to use dark toned materials in their art & craft work.

*This is an international swap. Please sign up only if you are willing to send outside your home country.

For this swap you will have one partner. You will send the following:

--at least 4 pieces of black ribbon, lace or other trim made from fabric. Each piece must be at least one foot (12 inches) long. These should be small enough in scale to be used easily for ATCs, scrapbooks or miniatures. New or vintage is fine – please only send items that are of useful quality and that you would be happy receiving!

--at least 3 different pieces of dark paper or fabric for ATCs or scrapbook work. These must be primarily black but can be plain or patterned. Each piece should be at least 4x6 inches and each piece must be different. New or old is fine, but please send clean and useable items.

--at least 2 other accent items that can be used in making ATCs or other small scale projects. These can be tiny flower, buttons, beads, etc. Your additional items should be black or very dark tones of grey, blue, or purple. Interpret this “2� requirement loosely – if you are sending small items like sequins, you’d want to send a bunch of them PLUS another accent item. If you are sending one chunky, super-fancy button that could be used by itself to accent a project you will want to send AT LEAST one other item. You can send more than two if you wish!

--One hand made item by you featuring a dark heart. This can be an ATC, a 4x4, a small bag, a piece of jewelry – anything that you have created and want to send to your partner. The cost to make this item should be under $5. I hope we’ll all put some HEART into this and send our partners an item that features at least an hour or so work, or reflects that some time was put into creating a nice gift.

*Swappers with a 4.5 rating or higher are welcome to join. I will review profiles before closing the swap and MAY not allow those with a trend toward recent low ratings. If you feel you’re being unfairly rated on some recent swaps, please contact me directly and we can discuss whether I am willing to let you participate.

*New swappers without a rating will be allowed however you must complete your Swap-bot profile with lots of details. You must also provide a link to Flickr, Photobucket or some other website that shows photos of your art & craft or provide information about your trading history.

Sign up ends April 23rd. The deadline to send is May 5th.
