Description:

This is the international swap for TTMI. I had a hard time thinking of how to make the International version of this swap work and not break my bank. This is actually by invitation only, and you will need the password to join. Ask me for the password if you are really interested.

This swap has some limits and requirements. Please read carefully before you sign up.

I have a few envelopes with 3 same mystery items, of a Totally tacky nature. aka TTMI. These are not lewd or offensive but just tacky as far as creating atcs. When you get it you will see why it is tacky. You need to be the kind of person who make a purse from a sow's ear.

.

You will make 3 cards. One is for me as the hostess, and 1 for your two partners. I thought you would enjoy seeing the final results from 2 different artists.

If you get me a partner, I will include a different, 3rd TTMI image so I get 2 different cards, this is also so I don't overtax your creative muse.

Instead of you sending me a SASE to get the TTMI, I will send the envelops out in good faith. Since you are required to send me a card as the hostess, please also include one stamp from your country to reimburse me for postage. So whatever it cost to mail an envelope please send me that in stamps from your country. Unused of course. Thank you. I will use the postage in swaps elsewhere.

My mailing address will be on the envelope I send, but I will also include a return address label for your convenience.

*Each card must be ATC size, 2.5" x 3.5" inches and on a sturdy base, if it flap in the wind or can bend easily the backing isn't sturdy enough. Think chipboard, playing cards or 2 layers of sturdy cardstock.

About the TTMI, when I say use, I mean, yes you can rip it, paint it, turn it around backwards, modify it. But you must *use it somehow. Have fun! Please do NOT just slap the TTMI image onto a back ground. Use other mediums. Lace, borders, modeling paste, gesso, embellishments, ink, rubber stamps. etc.

You need to post in the comment area when you Envelope from me arrives.

You also need to post in the comment area when you receive your cards from your partners.

Players also have to understand and agree that I will be posting photos and links to the photos of the cards that they create in a flickr album. Players must understand and agree that the images may show up on the front page of swap-bot, as I will use a flickr.com tag on each card.

I will be getting 2 partners as well, I will enclose my finished cards to my 2 partners. Don't peek. Open it after you have finished your cards.

You think they are adorable, That is so sweet. I thought they were very hard to use in an artsy way. I might have a few more leftover. I haven't cleared my desk in some time.
