NH: Zentangle ATC

A number of newbies have expressed interest in Artist Trading Cards , so this swap will help you learn to construct an ATC with minimal requirements for artistic ability. One card to one partner.

The only two rules about ATCs are:

1. They must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size. (64mm x 89 mm)
2. They must never be sold, only traded.

Okay, are you ready for the swap requirements?

Don't be scared. :)

• Cut your card stock to the correct size (see above). If you want to make the card extra sturdy, glue a second piece of card stock or lightweight cardboard to the back. For this swap, your edges should be cut neatly and evenly.
• You can draw predominately one zentangle pattern all over your card, like the featured card, or use several patterns.
• You may use official tangles, or create your own zendoodles.
• Your card may feature only patterns, or you can draw an outline of something and fill it in with tangles/doodles.
• Only black and white pens, please, for this swap.
• Do your best work. Make sure all pencil marks are erased, edges are cut cleanly, no ink blots. Your zentangle doesn't have to be complicated, but it should be done neatly.
• Turn your card over and write the name of the swap, your name, and the date on the back.
• Send it off to your partner on time. This is part of the swap requirements. If you send late, your partner may rate you a 3.

Rate promptly and accurately.
Communicate with me and your partner if there are problems.

This swap is not profile-specific, so you can start working it before partners are assigned.
