Another out of the box swap..

Example....The above atc is one I made by gluing only a piece of fabric onto my cardstock ...

For this swap you will only make the background and the background will be your total atc..

DO NOT PUT ANY EMBELISHMENTS ON YOUR ATC -- JUST BACKGROUNDS ONLY....

Please put on back of card the technique you used so we may all learn something new..

This will be 1 atc for 2 partners

These are just some ideals to get you thinking...You do not have to use any these you may come up with your own ideal

SPONGING Use small pieces of sponge and assorted colors of acrylic paint, chalk ink, dye ink or pigment ink to sponge on cardstock

DRY BRUSHING Use acrylic paint or other paint and a very dry brush to brush horizontally and vertically on cardstock

TORN TISSUE Overlap layers of torn tissue paper and glue down

AGED AND STAMPED Smudge cardstock with brown stain stamp pad to give it an aged look. Then stamp all over with brown ink and your choice of stamp

PAINTED CARDSTOCK WITH GLITTER GLUE Paint cardstock using acrylic paint. Let dry. Spread gold glitter glue over the top of the paint and spread w/your finger

Get creative and see what you can imagine

Request for clarification: are we making a background that the recipient can then turn into their own ATC? Or do we just do a background and call that the ATC, so title it, sign it, date it?

The ideal is to make the background cool enough to be a finished card..
