Here we go... Our 1st Bird Lovers Group ATC Swap!

Make an ATC featuring any bird of your choice; Songbird, Shorebird, Owl, Woodpecker, Penguin, Parrot, Flamingo, Duck, Chicken, or any other bird of your liking. The bird can be realistic or whimsical. The bird can be perching, nesting, flying, walking... anything you'd like.

Then add a descriptive word or name to your bird, because BIRD IS THE WORD!

Refer to swap photo for example and inspiration.

You will create ONE ATC for ONE partner. Standard ATC rules apply with each card measuring 2.5" X 3.5" or (64mm X 89mm) and constructed on a sturdy backing. You may use any technique or medium, and in combination if you'd like: EXAMPLES - Stamp, Paint, Draw, Collage, Die Cuts, etc...Only one sticker allowed and it cannot be the bird image. You're welcome to use some dimensional items so long as the finished card will fit into a sleeve! Finished item should be protected in some sleeve or plastic covering.

This swap is INTERNATIONAL and ATC is sender's choice. For a personalized ATC, please check partner profile for favorite birds, colors or style....but not required as it's senders choice. Aim to make your partner happy with work you'd want to receive yourself. If item was received and met swap requirements, please rate a 5; Hearts are optional and can be awarded for a personalized piece, extra special work, etc...

Please note: mail overseas routinely takes 2-4 weeks. Communication with your partner is important.

AEK7300 will angel if needed. Anyone who flakes on this swap will be removed from inclusion in future swaps.

Please feel free to ask questions and make suggestions in comments below...

Don't be afraid to join...we're ATC newbie friendly! Remember, you can use multiple techniques in combination, including collage. I know you can find a great bird picture in a magazine to use as your focal point or inspiration.

Feel free to PM me with any questions or leave a comment below. I'm here to help... ATC tutelage is on the house!

I've added the metric measurements for an ATC to the swap description. The ATC size of 2.5" X 3.5" is equivalent to 64mm X 89mm.

For clarification: Although the bird image on this ATC cannot be a sticker, you don't necessarily have to be an experienced artist. The bird image can be a store-bought die cut, a magazine cut out, a colored stamped image, etc.
