Description:

-Use at least THREE mediums for your ATC (paints, rubber stamps, cloth/ribbon, cutouts, etc). Stickers can be used sparingly.

-Any theme you want, but you MUST singe/burn the edges or some portion of your ATC! Do this process over a sink filled with water in case the flames get out of control, you can drop the paper without burning your house down haha.

-Make 2 ATC's and send 1 to each partner.

-Open to everyone but I will check all profiles and remove questionable swappers.

-There will only be 1 week to send! You can make your ATC's now and have them ready when partners are assigned.

I'm traveling at the moment so I won't be able to join this round (maybe next time) but wanted to share a burning things tip--if you want a very controlled burn of something, you should experiment with a magnifying glass in the sunlight. I've gotten some great results like that!

Burning can also be done with a heat gun. Takes a long time to blacken but can darken the edges up to a deep brown nicely.

Awesome, thanks ladies!

I've got the burning thing down, but cannot incorporate 3 mediums... I only work in metal...

@jringling I'll make an exception for you. Metal sounds like a neat idea that requires your time and creativity. I have the 3 mediums posted because I've received ATC's with a magazine picture glued on cardboard and that was it. Not very creative if you ask me! So anyways, please do join. And include a note to your partner, telling them to refer to this comment so they know you are an exception to the rules. Hopefully nobody minds this!

It is a deal... instead of 3 mediums, I will use 3 different metals on each card...
