Thanks Natasha.

LOL Sorry NatashaMay the Rooster and Red paintbrush were remakes from the RRs for BekaH. I'm not sure I want to do yet another set. But you most certainly can if you wish.

[NatashaMay]

no problem, Linda

[BekaH]

Linda, you can add me to both groups, please :-)

[Kimmie]

I promise, my friends, that I'll post something soon...hades has broken out at work this week; it figures! Maybe this weekend, I'll come up with something!

As enthused as I am about trying the buddy cards, for some reason I'm also a bit scared and intimidated....maybe experience will help with those issues! LOL

[BekaH]

Linda, here are the finished rooster cards. I hope you like them. The second was much easier, since I had a reference. The first was more difficult as I had to figure out what I wanted to do with it

[Linda4atc]

The are adorable Beka

[BekaH]

Oh I'm glad you like them... I was a little concerned, but I thought they were cute :-)

[cinlan]

Very cute rooster cards you two.

[Kimmie]

ok, since I've never done this type thing before, here's a question; if starting a set of buddy cards, do I draw a subject on both cards leaving the everything else blank first? or do the backgrounds and let someone else add the subjects??

I didn't realize this would be quite this difficult. lol

[Linda4atc]

It can be done both ways. I think it is easier to draw something first. Drawing on a background may complicate things. But the second person may draw on separate paper carefully (fussy-cut) cut it out and glue it onto a background.
If doing Mixed Media you can definitely do the background first. There are a lot of samples in our original HD RR thread. But remember there were three artisit so some of the starters had very little on them.

[Kimmie]

Gotcha, Miss Linda...that sounds good. Thanks for the information!!!

I finished Cinlans card. I drew in a small leaf and found a stamp from Canada I had laying around and a little friend for the big butterfly.

[Kimmie]

Cute, cute!!!!
I must get some started!!!! If I ever get caught up!! Awk!

[Mesektet]

I have some mixed media starter cards. Would anyone like to finish them?

There is a larger version of the photo in my Gallery (Other Art section).

EDIT: Thank you, everyone. ArtsyOne is going to complete these cards =).

Mesektet, I would love to work on these lovely backgrounds.

Asilla, we cant really scan the back of a card because it has peoples addresses on them and those are private. Some people use address labels and with there only being 2 in the swap you could write it width wise if you wanted to write instead of use a label. There is plenty of room, really!

[MACE]

Asilla,
I made up a fake card out of an envelope so you could see how we do the back. There is plenty of room with just 2 people. The names and street address are fictitious so it is okay to post this. A lot of us also write in what we have done to the card under are names but it isn't mandatory. I wrote extra big and you see there is still room. Hope that helps.

By the way Linda is there going to be a don'ts list for people that don't like stickers, or religious, or whatever? I don't want to offend anyone.
