Description:

This swap is for those new to the wide wonderful world of ATC's (artist trading cards).

I just recently got into this myself and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Simple pen-and-paper cards are a project I can take anywhere or I can get more intricate and use cut paper, photos, collage or whatever I'd like to experiment with next. I'm finding it's a great way to try out new techniques without committing to a full-size project as well.

The subject of the card will be something that makes you (the sender) happy. You can use any media/materials you feel comfortable with, but please put some thought into it and make a card you'd be happy to receive. To make this an easy swap for newbies, you will send one card to one partner. I am leaving lots of time for this swap so you don't need to feel rushed and have plenty of time to make a card that really pleases you.

The card should be 2.5x3.5 inches, and any media maybe used as long as it fits into a standard trading card sleeve (think plastic sleeves used to store/protect baseball cards). You should use a sturdy card for backing (I use cut up cereal boxes to back my cards, or heavy card stock)

This swap is open to everyone with a well-filled-out profile, but please be mindful of your partner and don't flake. If I have problems with you during this swap, I will ban you from my future swaps.

Please message me or leave a comment if you have any questions. As this is my first time coordinating a swap, I am making this a US-only swap.
