Mail Art inspired by Tim Holtz

The idea of this swap is to decorate an envelope with anything Tim Holtz that you can think of! If you don´t know him yet, just google him and you´ll find a lot of cool ideas and inspiration + some amazing techniques you can use in your envelope.

You must decorate both sides of the envelope. You can use inks, stamps, tissue paper/-tape, ephemera etc., as long as you remember to keep your envelope flat, so that it will go through all the postal machines. You can use other materials too, but try to stick to Tim Holtz as much as possible! The minimum is two TH-elements!

The envelope is to be send naked. Use real stamps in mailing! The only thing you have to put inside your envelope, is a little personal note, where you say something nice to your partner and list all the TH-stuff you´ve used, so put all your effort in decorating the envie.

The envelope in the swap picture is made by me and it was made for another TH-mail art swap I hosted a while ago :)! If you want to see the back of the envelope, go to my Flickr photos!

If you have any questions about the swap, feel free to ask me! And I don´t want any flakers in my swap, so I will be checking all the profiles before assigning the partners! Have fun!

One addition to the swap rules (edited on the 28th of August): The envelope size should be something between 6x9 inches as a "standard" for stateside swaps and 5x7 inches or legal size (which is the rectangual envelopes) for international swap partners. So nothing very tiny or huge, please!
