Remember Roy G Biv? Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet?

This is my first ever swap and I thought it would be fun to do a Roy G Biv ATC swap. The way it will work is you will be assigned one partner to make SEVEN cards for. Each card will have a color theme- first one being red, second one being orange, third yellow and so on. You don't have to use ONLY the theme color on each card, but let's make it the PRIMARY color on the card- say at least 80%.

I'll give you a couple weeks to sign up and/or ask questions and then a couple weeks after sign up to make your cards. This swap will be USA only to keep the postage down as much as possible.

Newbies are welcome but please don't have any recent (within last 6 months) "No-Sends". If your status is questionable please email me. Please have a 5.0 rating, we only want good swappers involved seeing as there will be a little extra effort put in we want to make sure everyone who signs up sends and receives their cards. All skill levels are welcome to join so long as you make an effort to create nice cards.

If there are ANY questions please let me know. I'll be out of town until the end of the month and may not have internet access so please be patient, I WILL get back to you ASAP : ))

I hope you all enjoy this swap.

Ooh! This looks like fun! I haven't traded ATC's before...I've tried to make some but this will be the first time I swap them.

What's the difference between Indigo and Violet? Haha! I just always ended with purple...

I know, I know! My hand is waving!! &:o) Indigo is the deep blue you see in Japanese fabric. It comes from the Indigo plant. The plant is fermented and vats are made to hold the dye. The fabric is kept in the dye bath till the color is right, usually a deep deep purple-blue. The artist decides how intense he wants the color the more experience he has he deeper he can get it. Purple comes from a different dye base. It is more red tinged. I'll sit down now.
