Animal ATCs, #2 INT

It is time to continue our collecting of animal ATC cards, for your own ATC zoo or menagerie ?

Create 3 animal cards. Any animal from the animal kingdom. So wild or tame, land or water or sky.

You may use rubber stamps, used canceled postage stamps, die cuts, magazine images, or any other source for your animal images, including hand drawing your animals. Zentangle animals too.

Mail all 3 to one partner. Senders choice on animals. So you may begin your cards now and not worry about the theme.

You are all in this atc group because you seem to have some experience. You should know all about atc, in reference to size, sturdiness, contact info, and being artistic.

I better write it out again just in case.

Be creative, do layers, add ink, or a rubber stamped image, or emboss, or fibers, or embellishments, a boarder, washi tape, paint, various papers on the background. Use words or found poetry. Make something fun and beautiful.

ATC cards measure 2.5 x 3.5 and have a firm backing. Firm backing is either chipboard or the firmness of a playing card or trading card. If your cards flaps in the wind when you hold it and shake it the paper is too thin. The back of your cards needs at least your name, your nickname, at least some contact info. Other things you can add are: the date, swap-bot, the group name: All about ATC, title, mediums used. Number of the card such as 1/1, 1/5.

I will angel this swap, once you have contacted your partner twice and rated them a one, I will remove anyone who has a recent or valid 1 or 3 rating to reduce the flaking. Some of group members have some very unfair 1s and 3s on their profile, and they are very good swappers. Newbies are welcomed, but need experience and a well filled out profile. Newbies with just electronic swaps, will not be able to play at this time. I will check profiles of each player.

USA players may join this International swap, and/or the USA swap. If by chance you get the same USA player you may mail together, but you would need 6 different animal cards. Keep that in mind.
