Description:

This will be the first of the series for places across the map and alphabet. What you will do is make one ATC for one partner that has something to do with a place that starts with A.

The place can be a country, state, providence, city, town, street, park, beach, or anything you can think of.

To portray this place, you can do an ATC with a drawing of the outline of the borders of the place, you can draw or sketch a map, you can collage items that are from or say that location, you can use different symbols that represent that place, or you can take a tasteful and enhanced photograph of a street sign that starts with the letter, or anything you can think of.

FOR EXAMPLE: If I were to do America for my place, I could make an ATC with an outline of the country of America, or I could draw a globe with America being the main focus, or I could collage a bunch of "made in America" tags, or I could draw an American flag and a bald eagle. Any of those things would be acceptable. I wouldn't be able to do a photograph since I cannot possibly take a picture of the entire country of America by myself. But be creative. Maybe you want to take a picture of the American flag outside the White House!

*Make sure you write the name of the place somewhere on the card (either the front or the back)

I will be creating the swap for the next letter in the alphabet shortly. Please PM me if you have any questions!

**NOTE: sloppily cutting out a few images from a piece of paper or magazine and sticking them onto a card is NOT art. If you decide to do photography, please use a photo editing software to enhance your photo. You may also want to add embellishments to photos or anything else that will make it appear more artistic than an average photo. Once again, this is an ARTIST trading card swap - so please be artistic! Of course that means no stickers unless they are background or side embellishments.

Pick somewhere unique and have fun!

1 partner, 1 ATC right?

Does the place need to be real? or can we choose a fictional place, such as Xanadu (obviously not for A)? I'm not sure I have time to join this one but am very interested in joining future letters in this series, it's a very fun concept!

yes, one partner, one atc, and I think thats actually a great idea to incorporate fictional places! Just make sure if you do that, to write somewhere (on the card or in a note) where the places is from (movie, book, legend, etc.)

I have tons of postcards from all over the world and scanned one in and printed it wallet size. It made the perfect background for my ATC. Then I scanned in the stamps on the back and printed them very small and glued them on front. This is a great swap idea. I've finished with A and moving on to B.
