Description:

Fearless because just about anything goes! (exception listed below)

Whether you are new to ATC's, new to the site, or just want to create something outside of a theme; this swap is for you!

This swap is International It costs less than a dollar to send an ATC across the sea, at least in the US! [of course it could be a little higher depending upon your choice of packaging]

It's simple

  • create 2 ATC's [Artist Trading Cards]
  • send one to each of your partners

ATC's must be standard size; 2.5 by 3.5 inches. I generally use cardstock from my scrapbook store and cut it to size, but you can use anything! Cereal boxs, Old Christmas cards, a playing card, fabric... you imagination is the limit! And then of course, create art on it.

The exception is as follows:

NO ATC's that consist solely of a sticker or two placed on card stock. That sucks, don't do it. It's okay to use stickers as a part of your design, but don't make them the entire design... okay, maybe if they are altered, cut up to make a new thing, that might be cool... but I think you know what I mean.

If you are not sure what an ATC is do a Google search or search Flickr, there are thousands of examples and some sites that explain them in detail. You can also search the swap-bot forums or send me a PM [private message] with any questions you have.

Who can join; Everyone! If you are new, just click signup! BUT please complete your profile by the last day to sign up or I will have to ban you. Your profile doesn't have to have tons of stuff in it, just a few sentences on each of the basics will suffice.

If you have been rated with a NO SEND [1] in the past couple of months please PM me when you sign up and explain the situation. I do know that things happen outside of our control and take awhile to fix.

Ratings: You will receive a rating reminder email two weeks after the swap has closed [the send by date] If you haven't received from one of your partners please send them a PM. If you don't hear back from them in a couple of days please PM me. Please do not automaticly rate a 1 when you get the email.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS please PM me or put them in the comments section below.

I have been so in envy of all the artistic talent coming out of the ATC swappers that I'm gonna take the plunge and do it.I have never really created an ATC before so this should be a fun swap.We do go by our partners profile on this one though right?Just want to make sure before I start!oooo so excited.

I thought I'd be brave and take the plunge and enter my first ATC swap (other than the private swap I have with Bundabergsangel) :-)

I am so glad you all joined! I just assigned partners. If you want you can upload pictures of your art into the Gallery above, but it's not required [it's just fun to see what everyone has made]

I can't wait to try a new technique on this one.

Dang it! I found this too late and it's just what I've been looking for...I'll keep my eyes open better in the future!
