Description:

Altered Text ATCs can be very basic, with just the color covering most of the words, or more dressed up with embellishments. The fun part is blocking out most of the words on the book page to make an interesting phrase or sentence!

For this swap, we will make our 1 partner 2 ATCs in the colors blue and purple. We're going to dress them up a little bit. Each ATC should have something on it other than just the color; outlining, doodles, images, embellishments, etc. Just something so it's not totally plain.

The book page should take up most or all of the background of the ATC, but you don't need to use an original book page. Copies are acceptable. Text should be primarily in English.

Recap:

  • 1 partner

  • Two cards -- one blue, one purple

  • Something other than just the color

When I do these, I coat the words I want in Diamond Glaze et al., and then when I paint, the paint rubs off the glaze easily in case I hit a word I want to keep (I'm not a great painter!). Just a tip to maybe make it easier!

Prior swaps were red&orange and yellow&green. This is the end of our rainbow.

I actually sat down and made mine at the same time I made the ones for swap #2. I tried Washi tape for these
