MAE: ATCs with a Twist #22

Welcome to our 22nd in a series. Please make 3 ATCs, sender’s choice, each different. Be inspired by the following:

Card 1: Add ribbon

Card 2: Make it a shape. A tag, circle or any shape of your choosing. Unless you are doing a circle aka an artist trading coin, please make the width and length at some point the same as a traditional ATC. For instance, if you choose a heart, it should be 3.5” high at the tallest and 2.5” wide at the widest points while still fitting within the traditional rectangle shape.

Card 3: Use a spring theme.

An Artist Trading Card is small piece of art measuring 2-1/2"x3-1/2" which is decorated by painting, stamping, die cutting, collage, drawing or illustration, mixed media, fabric, beading etc.

*Back your cards with light cardboard or stiff cardstock. Add your name, your Swap-Bot name, date, town, state/region and country.

*Use a combination of at least 4 layers and/or embellishments. NO sticker slapping. If you illustrate or paint your ATC this is not applicable.

*No teacher/reward stickers, pixelated computer printouts or magazine pages (unless significantly and beautifully altered).

*Make something lovely you'd be proud to receive and wish you could keep for yourself!

*This is sender's choice but please respect your partner's dislikes. . Especially if you make ATCs with controversial subject matter like politics, occult, nudity, sexuality, swearing, violence, religious etc. (Keep in mind that many holidays have religious themes or origins)

*Please have no recents 3s or any 1s without a good explanation in the comments of that swap or send me a note first.

*Consider hearts for your partner if they made really nice cards. Extras are not the only reason to give hearts. Be generous!

*i will angel once you have PMd twice and gotten no or negative responses and have rated a 1. Let me know if things aren't working out in your discussions. I'm happy to help!
