Description:

This is the seventh in a series of limited supply ATC swaps. These swaps will restrict the use of common supplies meaning you have to be more creative to make your ATC!

For this swap we will be using anything EXCEPT pre-made embellishments. All embellies have to be handmade. You must use at least 4 different embellies. 2 kinds of handmade flowers plus a handmade button and a handcut fabric ribbon bow is an example. Any kind of epoxy, glitter or pearl paint droplets count as one no matter how many you make, same with die cut sequins or other very tiny embellies.

Some ideas: word or phrase made from die cut letters, ribbon you dye yourself or cut from fabric, flowers made from paper or fabric, puffy paint dimensional shapes, homemade washi (stamp on tissue paper, add double sided tape), stencil with handmade embossing paste (Google Gabrielle Pollacco's blog), die cut snowflakes, die cut sequins, cut intricate shapes from paper or felt by hand or die, die cut doilies, paper beads, air dry clay shapes, hot wax seal with a stamped impression, wire shapes (like those fancy paper clips but they don't have to be strong enough to hold papers), handmade stickers, embroidery floss or thin cord tassels, fringed shapes, embroidery (machine is fine if you did it yourself), hand stitching, wood paper shapes, beaded stick pins, fabric tape, faux postage stamp (must be a collage of images or stamps, not straight from patterned paper or a single stamp), tickets, quilled shapes, beading or dimensional beaded shapes. Any more ideas please add them to the comments.

Please make these interesting. For example: don't just die cut a button shape. Layer several together to get the dimensions of a button and decorate the top layer somehow. A simple die cut flower has to be decorated with glitter or add a stamen, beaded center etc. or something; even better make a dimensional flower! Air dry clay shapes from a mold have to be painted or decorated. Get the idea? If not let me know what type of embellie you are planning and I'll help you out.

You may use some tiny non-handmade bits to decorate a larger hand made one. For instance you may use a pre-made stamen, beads or glitter to decorate something you are making. Or you can use non-handmade ribbon to make a ribbon flower. You can use store bought beads to make a beaded shape or embellish sewing or embroidery.

Come on! Challenge Yourself!!

Next in the series: Gahh! I'm out of ideas! You need to leave me some comments with your ideas!

*no teacher/reward stickers, pixelated computer printouts or magazine pages (unless significantly and beautifully altered).

*make something lovely you'd be proud to receive and wish you could keep for yourself!

*this is sender's choice but please respect your partner's dislikes for instance, don't add bugs if they hate them or colours they don't like.

*please have no recents 3s or any 1s without a good explanation in the comments of that swap or send me a note first.

*Please consider hearts for your partner if they made a really nice Card. Extras are not the only reason to give hearts.

*i will angel once you have PMd twice and gotten no or negative responses and have rated a 1. Let me know if things aren't working out in your discussions. I'm happy to help!
