Description:

Think mysterious...strange...gothic...?. Make an ATC with a door that reveals what's inside...

The rules;

  • sturdy
  • interesting
  • thought and effort
  • make your partner say "...COOL...!"
  • ...and of course it must have a door that opens and closes

and that's it!

This may help inspire you - http://www.art-e-zine.com. Lots of altered art, (including atc's), and free use of vintage postcard and photo images. WONderful and fun place to visit. The beautiful art takes my breath away and helps inspire me when I'm stuck.

ok...I'm gonna have to watch this one for a bit. If I get my other ATCs completed I'll jump in.

Does the theme need to be "mysterious...strange...gothic"?

kitty4peace 01/ 8/2009 #

On my watchlist for now...but it sounds fun!

Rie60 01/ 8/2009 #

Oh..Im so totally in...Where have you been all my life?

Rie60 01/ 8/2009 #

Im thinking since it SAYS mysterious, strange and gothic.....thats what it needs to be..however..when it says....fluffy, sweet and hello kitty-ish.....get on it altered :)

DestinyDesign 01/ 8/2009 #

The coordinator is a good friend of mine. She leans to the mysterious side, more than cutesy, so I'm assuming she means mysterious at the very least.

EEEK! I made THEE coolest card today for this swap- whoever gets me will love it!....er...I hope :)

magentapink13 01/ 9/2009 #

Let's see...no, it doesn't have to be mysterious, strange or 'gothic' - this just happens to be my style. DestinyDesign is right, though - I'm not into 'cutesy'. On the other hand, if upon reading your swap partners profile you think they'd enjoy Hello Kitty (or something along those lines) feel free to do so. Let's keep 'mysterious' in it, though. There should be an element of surprise, not just, "oh - there's so-and-so standing there." Does this make sense? Rie60 - I'm thrilled you've jumped right in. I bet your card is really neat. Kitty - I hope you'll join in if you feel so inspired.

I would love to join, but it's USA only. :(

any chance of making it international? if not, no worries.

roflcopter - your wish is my command. :0)

I have the perfect stamp for this that I have been dying to use! This is such a fun cool idea! Great job! Thanks!

roflcopter 01/11/2009 #

wahoo, now i can join in the fun. :)

thanks very much.

magentapink13 01/11/2009 #

you are very welcome, roflcopter! Glad to have you. Mrs Chef; I just received a neat graphic from another member that I may use for mine, too. It's neat when you finally have a use for something you've been wanting to use, isn't it?!!

I'm watching this one, sounds neat. I went to check out the link you provided (www.art-e-zine.com) though, and it was a dead page. :(

magentapink13 01/12/2009 #

jqtoyou; darn! Maybe try 'art-ezine new stuff'...? Let me know if this works for you. Swapbot doesn't allow html addresses so I can't provide the direct link. Hope this gets you to the right place.

thats the cooles ATC swap I saw since I'm here!!!

Loralyn 01/13/2009 #

this swap sounds like so much fun! On my profile, it says no 'goth', but please ignore that for this swap! Anything goes :-)

CraftyHamster 01/13/2009 #

Jqtoyou: I believe the correct site is: http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/

CraftyHamster 01/13/2009 #

Hello everyone.. I'm new to ATC.. I was wondering what is meant by "...Make an ATC with a door..." I don't understand the door part.... does she mean like a flap??

magentapink13 01/13/2009 #

Nazook - yes, a door would mean you'd have to attach a piece of strong cardboard or cardstock to the front of your atc in such a way it could be opened as a door would be to reveal what's inside. Or you could cut a 'flap' into the atc and put a piece of paper behind it with your 'surprise' image.

Nazook - you're right. That would be the correct address for Art-Ezine's site; http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/

Everyone who has signed up for this swap - thank you and I hope you have fun. This is going to be so cool.
