Description:
If you love DMC floss as much as you love ATCs, then this is the swap for you! Because of the time that goes into any kind of embroidered project, there will be only one partner each for this swap, and we'll have a month to do it. Your finished project must be ATC sized--3.5 x 2.5 inches, or the size of a playing card. To make your ATC sturdy, mount your embroidery on heavy interfacing or similar material. Any style of embroidery or needlework goes! Cross-stitch, satin stitch, needlepoint, crewel, punch needle--surprise us! This swap is open internationally because ATCs are inexpensive to mail...and because the needle arts are worldwide!

I always use cardstock as a backing. I that ok too?

Yes, cardstock will be great...just so long as the finished project is sturdy enough to be handled without flopping. Thanks for asking!
