Creative Swaps Monthly ATC Swap
(Artist
Trading Card Swap)
July 2011 ~ Colour my world
- A 3 for 3 ATC Swap! Make 3 ATCs out of fabric,
paper or both.
- They may be identical – or - different from
each other.
- Receive 3 ATCs in return.
- The July 2011 Theme is: Colour my world
___________.
- You will fill in the blank with one color. This
color can be monochromatic, if you
like. “A monochromatic color scheme uses only one hue (color) and
all values (shades or tints) of it for a unifying and harmonious effect”. Your
set of 3 ATCs can all be created using the same color -or create them
based on different colors. Write whatever color you are using on the back
of your ATCs as part of the ATC swap title, “Colour my world _________”.
- All ATCs are due IN my Mailbox no later than
August 6. This is a firm deadline and I will sadly return any late swaps
to the sender. Whatever is in my hands on August 6th is what I will swap.
There are no exceptions to this rule, so please mail early!
- TWO sets of 3 is the maximum you can submit. You must register for each set, $5.00 per set. Simply register twice on the creative swaps blog if you plan to send in 2 sets.

When your payment is

received confirmation within 24 hours please Email me lenna@creativelenna.com directly.
Make 3 ATCs in your chosen
colour(s)
- All ATCs must be sized
2.5” x 3.5” (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm)
- your design can be in
either landscape or portrait orientation
- your ATCs can be all
fabric, all paper, or combine them
- Image transfers and
transparencies are fine
- Painting, collage,
drawing, sewing, zentangles, rubber stamps, photography: any and all mixed
media techniques are acceptable
- your ATCs can be of ALL
the SAME design, ALL different, or a mix
- All ATCs should be
handmade and not photocopies
As
the swaps arrive, I will photograph or scan your ATCs and post them on the creative swaps blog. By registering
for the swap and sending in your ATCs you are giving me permission to post your
artwork on the creative swaps blog -with credit to you, of course! If you have
a blog or website and you post your ATCs for the swap, you can send me the direct link and I will add it
to your post on the creative swaps blog. I can add a description of your
techniques to the creative swaps blog, if
you send me an email with the info.
I really prefer an email description if at all possible, as hand written
directions are sometimes hard to decipher and whatever you write in an email I
can copy & paste, making it easier to add to your post.
This swap is limited to 50
players and
due in my hands August 6, 2011.
If
you do not make the deadline you will not be included in the swap. All swap returns will be mailed back to
you promptly within 7-10 days, if not sooner. Hope to see you in this fun swap!
