Number of swap partners:2
Description:

For this swap, you will make one standard size ATC (2.5 x 3.5 inches) for each of two partners.

  • The cards will be a paper collage, HOWEVER! the pieces of the collage will be drawn and cut from different colors and textures of paper. The idea is that the 'paper' will fill in your drawing the same way traditional paint would. For examples of what I mean, please see the cards here, here, here, and here.
  • Die cuts and manufactured paper shapes are not allowed! If you need to make a circle or tiny dots, hole punches and circle templates are acceptable but the bits and pieces of this card should mostly be drawn freehand.
  • Ink, pencil, charcoal or small amounts of paint or markers used to accent your 'paper painting' are welcome.
  • Keep the subject matter polite - if you would hide it from your coworkers, please don't send it in this swap.
  • Please use a paper that is a little bit nicer than plain copy paper and, if the paper is not very heavy, please mount it on a firm backing.
  • Finally, please put some time and effort into your work! Make something beautiful that you would be delighted to receive.

Please have a rating of 4.8 or higher, no recent 3's or 1's, and at least five rated mail swaps before signing up.

I will remove anyone from the swap that does not meet the above requirements before partners are assigned.

Please feel free to send me a message if you have questions or concerns!

Have a wonderful day!

Your examples are beautiful! Maybe I will try this technique if time permits.

I'm tempted to sign up just in the hope that I end up your partner - I really liked what I saw on Flickr! :^)

Well, I hope you join, regardless. I always seem to draw lots of talented people ^_^

I am still a newbie, don't have enough swaps under my belt yet. But I love your work, the examples are wonderfully beautiful. I really appreciate the ideal. Until next time...
