NH: Spring ATC

Please read thoroughly

As the title states, this swap is for a spring themed ATC! Uh, I live in Maine, and are still getting bouts of snow. I'm ready for spring, as is everyone else, I'm sure!

Before we get to the nitty gritty, and since this is Newbie Helpers, you must be made aware of the GOLDEN RULE OF ATCs:

ATCs must be 2.5" x 3.5" (inches). This guideline is NOT up to discussion, debate, so on and so forth.

"Spring" is up to creator's / sender's interpretation. Spring may be depicted on the ATC via the color palette, or by what's on the ATC: flowers, budding trees, etc. Again, let your imagination run wild. IF your version of spring may not be obvious to your partner, write a little note and explain what you've created or how it's springlike to you.

How To
You May
-Stamp
-Collage
-Draw
-Paint
-Method is creator's choice, BUT

You May Not
-Sticker slap
-Paste a print out

*Sticker slapping refers to just that . . . slapping a sticker on an ATC blank and calling it a day. A tasteful sticker used to enhance a well thought out and effort filled ATC is permitted.

Paste only a single print out
*This refers to merely printing an image and sticking it to an ATC blank and again, calling it a day. Printed images may be used as a means of enhancing an ATC or as the foundation for which one will build upon. ATCs are expected to be effortly made, no matter the means by which it is constructed.
