Description:

I'm sure you've heard of Masterboards (if not, PM me...there are great tutorials out there), for this swap you will create 2 ATCs for two partners from a Masterboard.

Here's the twist, your Masterboard should be created from layers of images, pieces and parts cut from junk mail. Start with one of the large post card style advertisements that come in the mail regularly, then begin layering other items over it. Everything should be junk mail, though...if it was destined for the waste can, use it!

You can stamp, glue, glitter or emboss your Masterboard once the paper collage is assembled using junk mail. Then cut it into four (or more) ATCs. Add a plain piece of paper to the backside on which you will write your information.

You can then ink the edges, if you wish, but do nothing else to the ATC front. Send them as they are...little abstract collages.

Do catalogs count as junk mail? I just got a bunch I never requested...
