Let's do one of those scrapbook template swaps again ...

I am drawn to these templates, especially for swaps, because it is so interesting to see how different each person's finished piece looks. Let's do it again ...

Create one collage postcard following this template.

The image above is a scrapbook template, layout or sketch. For this swap, use this template and challenge yourself to create one handmade postcard for one partner following this example. Apply collage techniques with any other mixed media details you wish and make this an ARTFUL creation.

I count anywhere from 12-20 items or layers including the backing. Try to follow this template and use at least 10 items. You don't have to interpret this literally - for example, you don't have to use stars or the tag with the hole in it but put some other shape or element in their place.

You can use scrapbook paper or your usual collage bits, gelli prints or any combination. Your backing can be a mixed media beauty, gelli print, or just a lovely piece of vintage paper. Anything.

If I forgot something, let me know.

Alter this template to fit your postcard - any size.

My count of the elements included may be off a bit. I want to keep this swap fun and a little relaxed while at the same time giving enough instruction to bring us all to similar results.

Let's have fun with this one!

Feel free to pop this in an envelope if you wish.

Creative Collage General Rules

The focus of the art should be collage, but feel free to use other media and techniques.

Postcards can be any size but no smaller than 4 x 6 inches. Apply proper postage depending on size and bulk.

This is sender's choice so you can begin now.

Create something wonderful.

Be sure to write the name of the swap and your swapbot name on your postcard so you can get rated.

Remember to rate! That's part of the fun of being at swapbot.

Thanks and have fun.
