For Newbies #5-Gem

You will make 1 ATC for 1 partner. The theme is GEM. You can decorate your ATC anyway you want as long as you include 1 GEM of some sort.

If you are new to ATCs in general please know that just a sticker on a card is not enough. You must use embellishments (ribbon, gems, brads, eyelets, 3d items etc). You can use stamped images, cutout images, die cuts, printouts, and more but you must also use embellishments. The exception to embellishments is only if you have hand drawn/painted your entire ATC, put effort into it (this exception is only because some people who do ATCs do ONLY handdrawn/painted art).

ATCs are on a thick cardstock, chipboard, or cardboard backing, honestly your backing can be anything as long as it is cut to the correct size and is sturdy and not floppy. The size is 2.5 in by 3.5 in or 6.35cm x 8.89 cm

Sign, date, and put your user name, and any other info you want on the back of your card. If you want to sign in the corner on the front you can it is your artwork most people do it on the back though.

Unrated newbies are welcome BUT YOU MUST HAVE A FILLED OUT PROFLE! If you have ratings you must have over 4.95. No recent 1's no 3's without explanations.

Above all have fun creating your swap!
