Description:

For this swap you'll get to use the canceled postage stamps you've been saving up in a creative and fun way :)

Objective:
Create 1 ATC's for 2 partners (that's 2 ATC's in total) with a canceled postage stamp inspiring your ATC. Meaning, don't make an ATC and just stick a canceled postage on it, but let the postage stamp image be the main focus on your ATC. See the swap example picture, a postage stamp of Sinatra inspired me to make a New York ATC :) You can find more examples here, here and here. You can use whatever medium you would like for this ATC, as long as your main focus is the postage stamp. This is needles to say in this group, but I'll say it anyway: create something that you'll be proud of receiving yourself :) You'll have ample time creating your ATC's, since this is not profile based, you can already start on your ATC's before partner's are assigned :)

The obvious bit
You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. But I will still double-check before assigning partners, so if you have what you feel is an unfair comment or rating, just PM me & we can try to work it out. :-)

First time hosting a swap in this wonderful ZMAC group :) ATC's is something I truly enjoy making. If there's enough responses for this swap I could turn this into a monthly ATC theme swap :)

I collect ATCs of postage stamps.I have almost 50 now so of course I also agree that I would love a monthly swap for this.
