Shabby or Vintage Breast Cancer Awareness ATC

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please make 2 ATCs, 1 for each partner, using primarily pink and white or ivory with an awareness ribbon. This can be an actual ribbon/lace/fibre loop or a bead, charm or stamped/printed (excellent quality) image. You may also use an image/stamp where the looped ribbon is part of a word or graphic eg: a ribbon-shaped flourish at the end of the letter or a purse with a ribbon-shaped handle.

Please be sure to make it worthy of a Somerset publication. Use shabby or vintage items and make it girly, pretty and sweet. Ribbon, lace, glitter, buttons, flowers, fabric, washi tape, embellished die cuts, punched paper strips, beads or crystals, vintage paper or sheet music, ink or paint distressing, rhinestones, pearls and doilies are all good ideas.

If at least 6 people join, I will randomly select someone to receive a package with 6 yards of pink ribbon!

Because there is no profile component to this swap, the send by date is much shorter than usual so be sure to start work on your ATCs well ahead of time.

*This is not a pass-it-on or trade swap. You must make this yourself. *Please do not use computer generated images or sentiments inless they are excellent quality and do not show pixellation. No magazine cut outs.

*Please make beautiful ATCs you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive.

*The ATCs must each include a total of at least 4 layers and/or embellishments. You must use all quality craft supplies. No cheap junk.

*Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight. Colouring needs to look adult, not like a child did it. Please don't be discouraged by these rules. I am only referring to general tidy work, not tiny flaws.

*Please have a 4.98+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me ahead of the sign up deadline. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out.
