Create 6 Artist Trading Cards (3.5” x 2.5”) using any medium and the colors of the Ocean: blues, greens, grey & white for example – or Sunset colors: pinks, orange, red, yellow, purples etc. One “family” of colors per card. You could create ALL of your ATCs with sunset colors, ALL of your ATCs with ocean colors -or do some of each color like I did above. The ATC base must be made of: cardstock, canvas, fabric, watercolor paper or matte board –something sturdy. You may add to this: watercolors, acrylic paint, rubber stamping, pastels, pencils, markers, gelli printing, inks, collage, photography, paper, small dimensional items or fabric. Your ATCs could be all fabric!

There is general information about ATCs and samples on my website. If you are unfamiliar with ATCs, go there to see if this swap is for you. Those who register for the Ocean/Sunset ATC Swap will also have access to a private lesson I’ve just added to my website for swap participants only.

(Registration has CLOSED 02/11/16). The $10 fee applies any and all participants (International & USA) and includes return postage for your swaps, plus the private lesson on my website. After you successfully register for the swap via PayPal I will confirm your registration within 24 hours and email you the swap instructions, plus the link and password for the private lesson on my website that shares step by step how I made the ATCs above.

I reserve the right to close registration for this swap at any time. After the swap concludes on April 23rd, I will swap all the entries and mail you 6 ATCs created by other artists in the swap. PLEASE NOTE: Late entries will not be included in the swap – MAIL EARLY!

Collage Inspiration Swap is complete!

The collage Inspiration swap is done & dusted! I sent the swap envelopes out this morning. Participants should be on the lookout, your collages will be there soon. I also updated the blog header here: creativeswaps.blogspot.com so it shows off just a bit of all participants' collages -a fun celebration for the end of the swap. I did this with PicMonkey, an online editing program. Enjoy!

Everyone did a great job for a fast turn around, thank you. A peak into my swap process below.

I will be announcing another swap with in a few days - stay tuned!
