Description:

I am always looking for a new way to make backgrounds for my journal pages, or ATC's or postcards and stationary. So for this swap you will make examples of your 5 favorite backgrounds each on a approx. 4x6 paper base and on the back you will give instructions and a supply list on how to re-create your look. One card per technique. We will each have 2 partners to mail to so you should end up with ten new looks to jump start your creativity.

These cards should fit into a normal envelope so postage should be minimal. Please use supplies that are readily available to most and not a budget buster.

I hope this will be a easy, hassle free swap. I am making it US only as many easy to find supplies here can be impossible to find in other countries. I will check your profile. This will take some time and thought so please don't join if you are too busy. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. That said I am excited to learn some new tips and tricks.

If you are stuck for ideas there are many tutorials on the web. Here are a couple of sites to get you started:

I'm getting really excited about this swap. Please remember to put your name on the backs of your cards and it might be nice to add your e-mail address in case someone had a question. Thanks!

I'm bedridden with a badly broken ankle, and did the work for this swap in bed. The resulting work is lame. The ideas are mine, the examples went out on computer paper because I couldn't get to my real art papers. If you hate my work, please ask for a resend. I'll still be in bed, but someone who has seen art supplies before will be bringing my supplies to me. Please accept my apology.

I also forgot to put my name on my examples, but please message me here at Swap-bot for an explanation or resend.

I'm excited for this swap! My backgrounds are all ready to go, I will send either tomorrow or Monday :)

StarMouse, I am impressed at what you had to go through to even send out for this swap. I look forward to your envelope. Mine are ready to go out too and will probably hit the PO tomorrow.

Have either of my partners received their backgrounds? I can resend if not.
