MAE: INK BOX CARD SWAP 3 for 3: WINTER

This swap was suggested to me by one of our members, @Pantlessrobot An ink box card is similar to an ATC in every way except size. Ink box cards are 3"x3" squares, the same size as the Tim Holtz distress inks, & the 4 corners are rounded. That's as much as I know about them, which isn't much. However, I did google ink box cards & found this:

I didn't watch the whole video myself, as these 3x3 cards are made like ATCs, & we know all about them, right???

So, the usual rules apply: an ink box card is 3"x3" with rounded corners. Like ATCs, you start with a light cardboard, such as a cereal box, for a bit of stability. Then create your art by using mixed media, paint, ink, lace, fabric, whatever you like. This is a little piece of art you create & then send to a partner. Be proud of your art & make it beautiful!

On the back of your cards, add the swap name, your name, your Swap-Bot name, & the date you made it, to each ink box card. Please also add your address to the back -- at the very least, your town & state or town & country. (I enjoy looking back at the ATCs I receive & see who made them for me, & I'm sure I will feel the same about these. So if your name & at least your town/state/country is not on it, I will never know where it came from a year from now.)

Each ink box card will be different, but they will each have the same theme -- WINTER. Remember, no carbon copies here! Use different materials & spice it up!

NOTE: slapping on a sticker or 3 is not acceptable, & neither is pasting on a picture. You must do something creative to it! Any questions, please PM me.

This swap is open to all members with a 4.98 or higher rating. (And, honestly, we don't have any members with lower than a 4.98 rating.)

Let's give this new form of art a chance to see if we like it, okay?

And do not disappoint me or your partner by not fulfilling your obligation to send 3 lovingly-made ink box cards.

But, most of all, have fun!
