Note: I’m filling in for ThouArtDelyrias this month, as she prepares for her son’s wedding. Congratulations, Lisa! I’m also cribbing her description:

This is the 12th of three-color swaps to challenge ourselves to create with a specific palette. This is something that I am hoping to pull in those who want to be challenged by the palate themselves!

Note: Halloween themes are excluded from this swap. Please do not make Halloween cards!

Be creative!! Create something with Copic markers, Zentangled and colored, Collaged, Gelli plate backgrounds with something added on top….whatever your style. You can do almost anything and it will be gorgeous!! Please stick with the three colors only. Slight variations of the colors are okay and a little of additional color will not disqualify it but please make sure that anything outside of the palette is minimal!

Important details

-All atc’s should be 2 ½ x 3 ½, in individual plastic sleeves, and sturdy! If it flaps in the wind, it is too thin. Please trim your cards so they are neat and tidy! Messy work implies to most that you don’t care.
-if you have thicker embellishments, please include an additional .22 stamp to cover the postage to mail it on (for each thick card)
- Each card should be different. Similarities is Ok, but the point is to play with the color palette.
-Originals only! Please, no copies or prints
-Please be sure to put your username (so we can give credit where credit is due), and location (because we all like to see where our cards came from) and swap name- minimal, on the back of each atc!!
- PLEASE put your user name and the swap name on the back of the envelope – preferably the flap!
- No communication, no cards will result in a neutral ITrader.

Postage Requirements;

USA – Please send a Business size SASE – ONLY Peel-n-Stick kind!!! If I have to lick it, send me a label!!! If you can’t mail a self-sealing envelope, send me a label large enough for me to read without magnifiers on and enough postage to mail your cards back to you, and additional postage for bulky mail to move forward! Please PM me for address when you are ready to mail.
International – a SASE- ONLY Peel-n-Stick kind!!! or label with a US Global stamp or 1-2$ included is great! If this is an issue, please PM me and we can work it out! Don’t let it inhibit you from participating! Please PM me for address when you are ready to mail.


Other Details:

When you receive your returns, please don’t forget to leave YouRock comments for those who created your cards for your collection!! I have made this easy by providing a link on the intial thread. Just click on the persons’ card you receive and then the YouRock button! Also, if you could, please leave ITrader for me so that I know that you enjoyed participating and that you received your returns!! Also, a host card is not required but it would be cherished, but definitely not required to play! ϑ
Most important Note; HAVE FUN with this! PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!!

I was wondering about the Halloween theme. I guess it can be used? It doesn't say Yeah or Nay about that.

I'm open to doing whatever the group prefers. Let's see what everyone thinks!

I'm in!

Welcome, Betsy!

Sign me up please.

Halloween or not? Doesn't make any difference to me.

LOL! I am gonna lurk! If I do them, they won't be Halloween themed because I am not a big fan of the holiday....

I don't collect holiday cards.

I'm glad to see the input on Holiday cards. I will not make any Halloween cards either.

Will amend the description to exclude Halloween themes. Thanks for everyone's feedback!

I nearly skipped this one as I am not a fan of Halloween, so I now see I won't be getting any cards back with that theme in mind I would like to join please.

Welcome, Ann!

I am excited to participate. I think I can make some fun cards with these colors. I am glad you removed the idea of Halloween. There are lots of swaps open right now with several fun takes on Halloween.

I am pleased to see Halloween excluded!

I went to Michael's today after the library. I mainly went in because they have a bathroom and the Dollar tree does not. They have some fun orange and black items at the dollar tree. They had a spool of tulle, which I almost bought, and they had a orange glittery like ribbon, again I put that back. I think I have to much ribbon and I know I have some tulle. Not orange and black, but I wasn't sure how I would use the tulle anyway. I have used it once on a SLOTH deadly sins card. Let me find an image.

Playing along

Oh I never said what I bought at Michael's with my lame 40% off coupon. I bought some mica flakes. I have not ever used them in my art before. See the black vial of mica?

Ohhhh, I didn't know Michael s was carrying the Finnabar brand!

Yes, Michaels had the beads from finnabar too. I was back at a different Dollar tree cause I had to pick up my daughter off the city bus. She wanted a few dishtowels, so I suggested we go in there. So I did buy the orange ribbon I put back yesterday, and I bought some orange decorative Mesh. I have plenty to share.

I'll join
