Description:

I'm going to do 9 swaps of different colors. For those of us who save our ATC's in 9 slot card holders in notebooks, this will look good to have a whole page of altered text ATC's.

What is an altered text ATC? Click here for Samples. It's quite simple and can be fun trying to come up with a sentence or two that makes sense!!! Not all will make sense though....

Here are the rules:

Make a standard size ATC and use an actual book page as your backgound.

Attach a sturdy piece of cardboard on the back for stability.

It's nice to finish the back of the ATC with a piece of nice paper. Don't forget to put your swap info on the back.

Outline your phrase, sentence, etc. as the sample picture suggests.

After outlining your words, then cover the rest of the ATC with the color BLUE using the medium of your choice...can be inks, paints, markers, pencils, etc.

You can finish it using embellishments of your choice or leave it plain (your choice).

You must have a 4.8 or above rating....You must have 10 recently completed and rated swaps....No 1's or 3's in the last 3 months....

NO Flakers and be sure to get your swaps out on time! Please don’t sign up if you can’t meet the qualifications and the deadlines…

If you want to make them ahead...here's the order of the colors we'll be doing: Red - Blue - Green - Silver/Gray - Purple - Pink - Yellow - Brown - Black

Have fun and happy swapping!

Any guess on how much the postage is for international swap?

Lady 06/ 7/2013 #

from the USA to international: $1.10 (same price for letters & postcards).

up to 1 oz (which can be 3 ATCs in sleeves if they are not over-loaded, and the envie is evenly full so it is "machinable") - I am not finding the thickness right now but the even-ness is also important. If it is un-evenly filled, $0.20 more.

so can I use different shades of blue? is it only drawn or colored? I did look at the link you provided and I didn't see any that had embellishments, etc

the more of these i do the more embellished they get. i am really into collage so i try to collage around my words. i also use sequins. they are really light weight. not sure what i am doing for this one.
