Description:

If you've ever looked closely at a freshly-fallen snowflake on your nose or mitten, you know just how beautiful they are!

I am a snowflake fanatic and around the holidays, my entire home is decorated in blues, silver, white, and snowflakes! If you love these icy little works of art as much as I do, then this is the swap for you! : )

For this international swap, you will create 2 snowflake-themed ATC's รขโ‚ฌโ€ 1 for each partner. (Please steer away from snow/snowballs/snowmen, etc.) I'm looking for specifically snowFLAKE themed ATC's.

For those of you who are new to making Artist Trading Cards, an ATC must be 2.5" x 3.5", either portrait or landscape orientation. Other than that, the sky is the limit! However, please do not put your ATC on flimsy paper รขโ‚ฌโ€ make sure it has a sturdy backer of cardstock, etc. And don't forget to sign & date the back!

Also, if you are new to ATC making, I would highly recommend doing a little bit of research into the art form so you're sure that what you're creating fits the requirements. Please see the comments section below where I have posted links to some informational ATC sites.

As a suggestion only, you can go for hearts by adding a 2nd ATC or some extra little goodies too!

Now for the rules: No newbies, please. Swappers must have a rating of 4.8 to join this swap. Please, please please do not flake (har har) on your partner. And don't forget to rate your partner when you receive their ATC รขโ‚ฌโ€ they put time and effort into creating something special for you, so please give them the credit they deserve! : )

Please feel free to message me via swap-bot if you have questions on anything - I am happy to clarify!!

Happy Swapping, kiddies! : )

just to confirm: atc's are hand made postcards? thanks

seacheles 11/13/2007 #

Hi Algodao รขโ‚ฌโ€ no actually, they are not postcards รขโ‚ฌโ€ they are 3.5 x 2.5 inch trading cards.

I would suggest some reading on Artist Trading Cards, what they're all about and how they are made. Here are some helpful sites:
