This swap is a Series of 5 themed swaps, this is the second to create a nice collection of 20 Altered Playing Cards! The theme is "Vintage " ...Please use a playing card which is a little smaller in size than a ATC approx 3in x 2.25in. the card can be any suit or number. as long as is is about the same size as a normal ATC. You will be making 4 cards all with the vintage theme for 2 partners. ..... please apply your artwork to the numbered side of playing card, the card may be hand painted, stamped stickers are ok as long as some original artwork is demonstrated on all 4 cards.

Please be encouraged to use mixed media.printed materials.. gesso, acrylic paint stamps, fabric, ink and vintage paper assemblages. They may say any inspiring quote word or phrase that you wish with transparencies or wood game pieces... add texture and color.... be creative!

Vintage may include old photographs, or pictures of Victorian Ladies, flowers or really anything you like as long as its "Vintage looking." don't forget to include your username on cards or separate piece of paper.

Just double checking. You have "vintage" theme, and then "bird" them. Is it any vintage style, or vintage bird style? :)

Its vintage theme.

Wow, this is such a fantastic idea for a swap! The vintage theme adds so much charm and creativity, and using altered playing cards as the medium is so unique. I love how this encourages mixed media and the incorporation of personal artwork—it really lets the participants' creativity shine. The thought of creating a beautiful collection of 20 cards through this series is so inspiring! It kind of reminds me of Retro Bowl in the sense that it combines nostalgic elements with fresh creativity—both are perfect ways to unwind and appreciate art in different forms. Kudos to the organizer for putting together such a fun and artistic swap!
