Steampunk  Summer ATC Swap

3 for 3

Skill level – Budding and upwards

Due in hand by 21st August 2016

I love all things Steampunk, so I’m very happy to announce a new ATC swap with this theme. Anything goes, but all ATCs should have something metal or metallic on them somewhere. Please make 3 ATCs and mail them to Mel D. at the address in the database and I will send you back 3 other people’s works of art.

Anyone in the UK, please send an SAE. Overseas swappers can include ephemera, an extra ATC or $5, whichever you prefer.

Please sign up in the database. 
And Post pictures of your masterpieces in the Album.

Floral Headpiece ~ ATC Swap

3 for 3 ATC's

Skill Level - #3 Blossoming

In HAND by- July 13th

Hosted By - Nikki Smith

Super excited to announce this new Swap, "Floral Headpiece"!  With spring here and summer right around the corner I was thinking FLOWERS!  For this swap you will need to create 3 ATC’s.  Each card should have a face profile of a woman or child and for the fun part you will create a beautiful floral headpiece.  You can use paper flowers, printed, painted ones or even make your own. You may even want to use glitter and tiny ribbons too!   For an added element please add an inspiring word to your card. This swap is a level #3 (see below) because there should be a lot of detail put into your headpiece, lots of opportunity to use different materials. Have fun!

The rest is up to you.  Whatever moves and inspires you. :)

Please sign up in the gallery database and post your photos to the gallery album.

I have created a board on Pinterest for some beautiful examples
