This one is easy!
You will make 2 ATCs for one partner from the background that you do first.

Materials;
Watercolour paper, not too thick, A5 size approx.
2 lots of watery paint- either watercolour or acrylic. Use colours that won't make mud when mixed eg
red & blue, yellow & blue, red & yellow orange & yellow, purple & red, purple & blue, green & blue
Cling wrap
Soft brush

Instructions:
Use a wet brush to paint or drop each colour onto the paper- you don't have to have every bit covered.
Use the cling wrap to cover the whole sheet letting the wrap crease and fold as you do. You will notice the paint moving under the plastic.This makes the interesting designs.

LET IT DRY

When dry, take the plastic off to reveal the pattern that you made.
Cut 2 ATCs from the sheet- 2 1/2 x 3 /1/2 inches.
Leave one as it is- you will send this one as well as the next one. With the other, look for any images you can "see" in the designs. Use paint, crayons or coloured pencils to make the image stand out.
If you can't "see" anything, embellish, paint on, collage on to make another interesting ATC for your partner.
