Description:

I host this monthly swap in another of my groups and Jessica suggested I that host it here. I love making these cards and jumped at another opportunity to "swap" inspiration. I will have the same requirements as in my other group -- with the addition of a mono print requirement. I am posting this one a bit early to give everyone plenty of time to sign-up for this first round.

I will plan to host this swap once a month -- basically two weeks to sign up, then two weeks to send. Feel free to work ahead as you become inspired. Also feel free to jump in and out of participation as your schedule allows. Lots of participants means a nice variety of styles and inspiration in our decks. :)

I approach these cards as being 2-sided ATCs. The sides can relate to each other or be separate entities. You can use any media you want -- maybe even approach them as mini journal pages. At least one side must have an inspirational message -- word(s) or quotes of some kind.

You will make two cards for one partner.

Monoprint requirement: Please use monoprint paper backgrounds for both sides of your card (Gelli prints or any other type of mono printing). Show off your skills! :) You may further embellish as you see fit but be sure that some of your lovely print work is highlighted.

You can see examples of the cards I've made so far in my Flicker Album: Inspiration Cards.

Examples

These are Sender's Choice so if you get on a roll you can make some ahead of schedule.

Nitty Gritty:

2 Cards to 1 Partner (ATC sized cards 2.5" x 3.5")

Decorate both sides of the card

Sender's choice of design, theme, and embellishment

Both sides must incorporate some mono printed paper/material(s)

Designs must include an inspirational message

If you have any questions or concerns please email me. Have fun, be creative, spread the happiness.

Well at least a monthly hosting commitment will make me get out my Gelli plates and play! :) So thanks for the push.
