Welcome to Marie Antoinette ATC Swap!

This swap is about the historical character Marie Antoinette and your take on how she looks like and what she represents (not the movie Marie Antoinette).

Here is a Flickr search for ATCs relating to Marie Antoinette: this way . Feel free to use those cards as an inspiration to your own work :) They are pretty awesome!

You will send 2 ATCs to 2 partners, which means 4 ATCs altogether.

Your ATCs can be handdrawn, -painted or mixed media collage. All skill levels are welcome, but keep in mind that quality is what we aim for. Make cards you are proud of and would like to receive yourself. No decorations falling off or stickers/ magazine cut-outs glued on cardboard without anything else. Make an effort :) Cards with very little to no effort can be considered as not fitting the theme and rated as such.

Contact me if any problems arise. I will angel if anyone flakes.

TO RECAP:

  • join the swap (please do!!)
    • draw, paint, make the 4 ATCs and send 2 to each of your 2 partners
    • receive lovely cards from your partners :)

REQUIREMENTS:

  • no flaking , pretty please!
  • 4.5 rating or higher (explanations on bad ratings are welcome and reviewed on case to case basis)
  • newbies welcome with fully filled out profiles and experience on ATC making

Feel free to ask any questions here or via messages. Happy swapping :)

are you saying NO to embellished disgitals??

Embellished digitals are OK in my opinion if it is obvious that effort has been put into embellishing them :) You know, not just a print out with some glitter on top, but a digital image, which has maybe been worked on in Photoshop and then printed out to be part of the final product. I know that digital ATCs can take a lot of work, so I'm not declaring them a no-no directly. The digital image just has to be part of the collage, in other words embellished in some way, like you said. Basic idea is to send out your best work and something that you would be happy to receive, not something that took you two minutes to make :)

Hi Not sure if this is the right place to ask, I've just joined, filled out a profile etc.I'd love to join in the swap, but is that ok for newbies?

All newbies with filled out profiles and some experience in either ATC or collage making can join :) I received your message too and took a look at your profile and Flickr and I think you'll fit in perfectly with the rest of us in this swap :) Welcome!
