Description:

If you've ever looked closely at a freshly-fallen snowflake on your nose or mitten, you know just how beautiful they are!

I am a snowflake fanatic and around the holidays, my entire home is decorated in blues, silver, white, and snowflakes! If you love these icy little works of art as much as I do, then this is the swap for you! : )

For this international swap, you will create 2 snowflake-themed ATC's Ò€” 1 for each partner. (Please steer away from snow/snowballs/snowmen, etc.) I'm looking for specifically snowFLAKE themed ATC's.

For those of you who are new to making Artist Trading Cards, an ATC must be 2.5" x 3.5", either portrait or landscape orientation. Other than that, the sky is the limit! However, please do not put your ATC on flimsy paper Ò€” make sure it has a sturdy backer of cardstock, etc. And don't forget to sign & date the back!

Also, if you are new to ATC making, I would highly recommend doing a little bit of research into the art form so you're sure that what you're creating fits the requirements. Please see the comments section below where I have posted links to some informational ATC sites.

As a suggestion only, you can go for hearts by adding a 2nd ATC or some extra little goodies too!

Now for the rules: No newbies, please. Swappers must have a rating of 4.8 to join this swap. Please, please please do not flake (har har) on your partner. And don't forget to rate your partner when you receive their ATC Ò€” they put time and effort into creating something special for you, so please give them the credit they deserve! : )

Please feel free to message me via swap-bot if you have questions on anything - I am happy to clarify!!

Happy Swapping, kiddies! : )

just to confirm: atc's are hand made postcards? thanks

seacheles 11/13/2007 #

Hi Algodao Ò€” no actually, they are not postcards Ò€” they are 3.5 x 2.5 inch trading cards.

I would suggest some reading on Artist Trading Cards, what they're all about and how they are made. Here are some helpful sites:
