Description:

New year and a new round of the Inspired by Postage Stamps ATC series :)

For this swap you'll get to use the canceled postage stamps you've been saving up in a creative and fun way :)

Objective:
Create 1 ATC's for 2 partners (that's 2 ATC's in total) with a canceled postage stamp inspiring your ATC. Meaning, don't make an ATC and just stick a canceled postage on it, but let the postage stamp image be the main focus on your ATC. See the swap example picture, this is one I sent to my partner for the previous swap. A postage stamp of a bike inspired me to make a biking in Amsterdam ATC :) You can find more postage art examples on flickr here Stamp it! Postage Art You can use whatever medium you would like for this ATC, as long as your main focus is the postage stamp. This is needles to say in this group, but I'll say it anyway: create something that you'll be proud of receiving yourself :) You'll have ample time creating your ATC's, since this is not profile based, you can already start on your ATC's before partner's are assigned :)

The obvious bit
You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends/late swaps, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. The rating filter is in place so if you drop below that you're automaticly dropped from the swap. But I will check participants before sign up to see if anyone has late swaps on their dashboards, so if there are any concerns please contact me about it.

*Nesting ATC shown above is made by me
