Description:

For this swap, we will be making an ATC following the steps below in order. You cannot skip any steps, and you must do them in order. You can't do anything else to the card other than what's below. Once your ATC is complete, you must scan it. When you're rated, post a picture of it in the forum thread I'm going to set up for this swap so everyone can see what people come up with using the same steps.

Here are the steps:

  1. Start with a solid colored background.

  2. Tear up one or more different pieces of paper and arrange and attach the pieces on the card.

  3. Bend the card between 1 and 5 times.

  4. Smear all or part of the card with something that isn't totally gross.

  5. Add all or part of a face. you can draw it, paste it or whatever.

  6. Poke a hole in the card.

  7. Add an object that isn't made of paper to the card.

  8. Add a word or phrase (stamped, printed, etc).

That's it. Now send it.

Ooh! I see a series in the making!

Stupid question from someone literal: the instructions for no. 2 say to arrange the paper on the card. Does that mean it's sender's choice if we should actually attach the paper to the card? :o)

LOL! Man, I was all ready to arrange them and see which ones fell off when I bent it 1-5 times! :o)

I'm in for this one too! Well...that is, assuming you won't kick me out for using a picture of my ATC vs. a scan of it.

voodooninja 03/26/2009 #

ok, fine! you can take a picture instead of scanning if you insist! :P

This is sure different!!!!!!!!!!Sounds like a April Fool's ATC. Can we put a brad in the hole or a fastner? My perfection is talking!!
