New Swap: The Little Cinder Girl ATC Swap

This project is for Paper Traders members only but we would love to have you join us. Please click on the purple Yahoo button in the sidebar for more information on how to join.


The Little Cinder Girl
3 for 3 ATCs
Skill Level 3 - Blossoming
Sign up by April 8th
Cards due IN HAND by April 28th
Hosted by Debra Claxton

Let’s celebrate this romantic & timeless tale! The latest film version is opening on March 13th.  This beautiful story of hope and love is found in several written works and myths. You can find a synopsis of two Cinderella tales at this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella

Your Cinderella-themed ATCs should express your own excitement about one of the story’s many versions. Take this opportunity to be creative and interpretive. But do not use Disney images, or other copyrighted material, please. Instead, try some interesting “magical” paper techniques or share a part of the story that really interests you!  Mice who sew, doves who drop dresses from the trees, fairy godmothers, pumpkin carriages, wicked stepsisters, a prince with one glass slipper, or a clock that chimes at midnight - so much to think about!  For further reference watch the film, “Ever After” starring Drew Barrymore.

Here are a few more visuals to get you started:

Please include an address label and $1 for return postage. Bulky cards with 3-D embellishments, please send $2. International participants may send ephemera in lieu of postage, an international stamp, or use PayPal.

Skill Level 3 - BLOSSOMING: Geared toward the artist who is comfortable with most techniques, willing to try new methods and take risks, and include a varied range of techniques and materials, as well as fielding Q&A from group members about their artistic process.
