Hi Everyone

some awesome little cards.


The theme for this swap is:
Shades of Blue
Feel free to interpret the Shades of Blue theme any way you like
but your ATC must include:


                        Shades of blue (as many as you like), and
                        some bling

          3.   To participate , write a comment to add your name to the list of participants
                below and I will email you my address details.
          4.   Post your ATC's and a stamped self addressed envelope to me on or by
                the posting deadline (see 7 below). I recommend that you put your ATC's
                into a plastic 9 pocket protective sleeve to protect them from bad weather.

          8.   I will post swaps received on Monday 27 march at the latest so you should
                receive your ATC's shortly thereafter.

               Founding members have automatic entry into each swap (but still need to
               confirm their participation for each swap).

               part on a 'first in' registration basis.


I do hope you will participate - any questions feel free to leave a comment.


What's an ATC?
An ATC is the acronym for Artist Trading Card.
For anyone new to ATC's it's a small piece of original work that measures 2.5" x 3.5".
There is no right or wrong way to create an ATC - you just need to stick to the
measurements and the rest is up to your imagination.
