Description:
I thought this would be a good way to share/try techniques on ATC's that would inspire us to use them in future projects. For this one you must create one ATC for each of your partners. This ATC must have the following: Tea stained AND paint speckled/flecked background layer a strip of print/text over it stamp OR emboss over both of the previous layers embellish with any sort of raised feature Sender's choice, so you don't have to wait till you get partners and you should be able to send early. Also, make something you would like to receive. Must have at least 10 snail mail swaps under your belt, extensively filled out profile and a 4.9 or higher rating. Profiles will be checked.

are we sending ATCs? u may want to look at swap type...it is listed as electronic...type 1. should be type 3. :)

Actually, because ATCs are a "craft" they're typically hosted as Type 3 swaps, not flat mail (Type 2). Type 2 are letters, cards, PCs.

RBM3579 (the coordinator) have ask me to copy this answer

1st you stain base with used tea bag (the whole ATC paper or you can pattern it)

2nd once that dries you take your paint brush and create flecks on top

3rd after both dry layer a stripe/pieces of paper (with words on it - like from a book) over parts of the "painted" base

4th stamp/emboss over all layers (tea stained, flecked and paper with words
