Okay, itΓ’β¬β’s been discussed plenty on the forum, so here is the first group ATC swap!! You will make your partner one ATC with a butterfly. The basic rules on ATCΓ’β¬β’s are;- Γ’β¬Β’ Must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches (can be landscape or portrait) Γ’β¬Β’ Must be on a sturdy backing (cardboard Γ’β¬β you can cut up old cereal boxes) Γ’β¬Β’ Not a rule Γ’β¬β but a guideline is no sticker slapping, which means that you should try and put some effort into it, not just plonk a sticker on a background and call it done! Some basic guidance on techniques Γ’β¬β select a background (pretty paper, scrapbook paper, bookpage, or coloured card) select your main focus point (for this one it will be a butterfly), embellish in some way (you could add a border, a bit of glitter, glue on other small embellishments etc.) You can use any medium you like Γ’β¬β you could draw, paint, collage, use magazine cut-outs. You can put one butterfly on the ATC, or many (a flock of butterflies??) On the back you should put your name, your swap-bot name, a title (if you want one) and any other contact details you would like to supply (this is for when ATCΓ’β¬β’s are traded). Any questions, please comment below or PM me. If anyone is struggling to get ATC blanks, let me know and I will pop a couple in the post for you. |
