Okay, it’s been discussed plenty on the forum, so here is the first group ATC swap!!

You will make your partner one ATC with a butterfly. The basic rules on ATC’s are;-

• Must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches (can be landscape or portrait)

• Must be on a sturdy backing (cardboard – you can cut up old cereal boxes)

• Not a rule – but a guideline is no sticker slapping, which means that you should try and put some effort into it, not just plonk a sticker on a background and call it done!

Some basic guidance on techniques – select a background (pretty paper, scrapbook paper, bookpage, or coloured card) select your main focus point (for this one it will be a butterfly), embellish in some way (you could add a border, a bit of glitter, glue on other small embellishments etc.)

You can use any medium you like – you could draw, paint, collage, use magazine cut-outs. You can put one butterfly on the ATC, or many (a flock of butterflies??)

On the back you should put your name, your swap-bot name, a title (if you want one) and any other contact details you would like to supply (this is for when ATC’s are traded).

Any questions, please comment below or PM me. If anyone is struggling to get ATC blanks, let me know and I will pop a couple in the post for you.

Oooh look at me willy nilly trying new crafts! ;-). The only ATC I gave ever made had a Dotee doll stuck to it, so I guess that doesn't really count. I'm looking forward to having a go at a proper one x

I'm not sure I'm considered a beginner with ATCs, but I'm not the greatest at them since I'm by no means an artist (My stick people are crooked. Lol). I'll think about joining!

Up to my neck in glue, but finished it!
