    Swap due date: December 1, 2016

    Number of cards: 3 for 3
    Number of participants: 35 maximum

    Autumn is here! Nature is here in full color.
    This is a swap about autumn trees. Trees in nature, trees in yards, trees in parks, trees close up. Use your imagination.
    Make three different cards although the theme and medium can be the same.

    Medium: Hand drawn or painted, sewing, needlepoint, hand-made stamp, etc. Handmade art cards only. Check with me if in doubt about your medium. Make something that would be hard for you to give up.

    Use your artistic skills and feel free to use your imagination and unique style. All cards must be original ie no prints or copies.
    Most of all---Have fun!!!

    Requirements:
    *All cards should be standard 3.5” X 2.5” and at least one layer of card stock.
    *Cards should be flat.
    *Send cards in plastic sleeves.
    *Withdraw early if you can’t do the swap, late cards may be returned if they can’t be swapped out.

    Mailing and postage:

    *PM me for my address when you are ready to send cards.
    * Make sure your user name, location and swap name appear on the back of your ATC’s.
    *Include your username on your SASE.
    * International participants: I will pay postage for first 10 players. Please include a SASE.
    *US participants: Include a stamped self-addressed envelope.

    Returns: When you receive your returns, please leave itrader for me and rep points for players.
    An extra card for the host is always appreciated but not required.
    Anyone want to play?

    I love Fall!! The weather is changing. The leaves are getting so colorful. My garden looks fabulous. Am excited to be hosting this swap. Come and play.
     
    I'll have to lurk and make cards first; then I'd commit...is that ok? (I'm suffering from artmuse blockage lately....the December 1 due date is promising).
     
    Lurking! You say no prints or copies, but would it be ok to use the same handmade stamp in all cards, if they were otherwise made unique in some way? For example by colors, how the background is painted etc.?
     
    Yes! Yes!

    That would be just fine to make your own stamp and use it for all of your cards. I have always admired those atc artists who make their own stamp and cherish the ones I have in my collection.

    I hope you join in.

    If you decide to share any helpful tips on how you make your stamps---that would be awesome.:yes:
     
    lurking as life is busy at the moment so I will see if I can make the cards....Love the autumn.
     
    I wanted to make sure I could do them before I signed up since I'm not good at hand drawing. Got them done, freestyle. I hope they're acceptable. Please sign me up and I'll PM you for you address.
