Description:

You will make 1 ATC for 1 partner. The theme is PAINT. You can decorate your ATC anyway you want as long as you include PAINT of some sort.

If you are new to ATCs in general please know that just a sticker on a card is not enough. You must use embellishments (ribbon, gems, brads, eyelets, 3d items etc). You can use stamped images, cutout images, die cuts, printouts, and more but you must also use embellishments. The exception to embellishments is only if you have hand drawn/painted your entire ATC, put effort into it (this exception is only because some people who do ATCs do ONLY handdrawn/painted art).

ATCs are on a thick cardstock, chipboard, or cardboard backing, honestly your backing can be anything as long as it is cut to the correct size and is sturdy and not floppy. The size is 2.5 in by 3.5 in or 6.35cm x 8.89 cm

Sign, date, and put your user name, and any other info you want on the back of your card. If you want to sign in the corner on the front you can it is your artwork most people do it on the back though.

Unrated newbies are welcome BUT YOU MUST HAVE A FILLED OUT PROFLE! If you have ratings you must have over 4.97. No recent 1's no 3's without explanations.

Above all have fun creating your swap!

Yay! finally a swap for newbies!! (is kinda confused) do we have to use embelishments?? or can we just paint the whole thing.

its also saying i don't have the minimum rating requirement and wont let me join (i don't have a rating)

@CeilingBattles Read the bit that says "The exception to embellishments..."

I don't know if the host has changed the requirements since you tried, but it now says that unrated swappers are allowed. Try it again, but it also says you need a filled out profile, which means that even if it lets you join, the host will remove you before assigning partners unless you fill out your profile first.

Just take a look at other people's profiles and you'll get some ideas for what to put in yours. Click on some usernames : )

So sorry I forget to look at comments, but yes it got fixed, I sometimes forget to hit the button to allow unrated users. Yikes, just message me any time something is wrong with one of my swaps. Hope you all have fun with this one! =)

Just wondering about the embellishments bit. I was planning to draw and paint mine, but am concerned about how it might be rated. Above you list an exception for this, but I am new to art and realize that my partner may not understand that I did put time into it because it might be something that one with more experience could create in much less time.
