Description:

This swap is for a low pressure ATC that requires effort, but not the ability to draw. Theme is sender's choice.

The background of your ATC will be a stamp bomb (see pic). Essentially, you will take used postage stamps and fully cover any blank space. The stamps can be neatly laid out in straight lines or chaotic, they can be random or you could choose a color to stick to, or even try something like making a tiny gradient if you have a lot of postage stamps. Make sure everything is glued down securely.

Then, it is time to embellish. Please no stickers. You can layer rubber stamps or other inks over your background, keep the stamps themselves au natural but glue on a couple little drawings or high quality computer printouts (please fussy cut these, but you do not need to design them), make a tiny collage with a few magazine cutouts, etc. It's really up to you! Be creative, just try not to cover more than 50 - 75% of the stamps. Please be thoughtful and take your time. The end result should be a minimalist's nightmare, but pleasing to look at.

You may want to seal everything with mod podge or similar. Use a sturdy 3.5" " 2.5" backing, send in a plastic sleeve for protection. The back should, at minimum, contain swap name, username/date, and date.

Include a note with swap name and username for easy rating. Put the swap name on the outer envelope as well.

Must have 20 type 2 or 3 swaps completed. No recent 1's or 3's. I will drop at my discretion and angel if necessary.

Please message me directly with any questions. Have fun and happy swapping!
