Sealed with a Kiss ATC

Pucker up your pout and get ready to send a smooch!

Create one ATC featuring your very own Valentine's day lipstick kiss for your partner. Use a dry lipstick rather than an oily lip gloss so your kiss doesn't seep out into the rest of the ATC over time. Seal the whole ATC, or at least the lipstick kiss part, with a clear sealant or tape. I used a spray-on acrylic craft sealer that you can buy in the spray paint section of most stores, but you can use anything that creates a protective coating over the kiss and prevents it from smearing.

Swappers must have a minimum rating of 4.8. No newbies in this swap, but I'd be happy to set up an identical private swap with you if you are new with a well filled out profile.

Your ATC MUST: - feature at least one clear kiss made by putting on lipstick and kissing the paper (or whatever you choose to make your ATC out of). - include your name, the title of your ATC, your location, and the medium (s) you used on the back of the ATC - be standard ATC size (2.5x3.5 inches) - be sturdy with a thick cardstock, cardboard, or comparable backing - be protected by a plastic sleeve or bag. It's wet and snowy in many places this time of year, and it would be a bummer to get a sloppy kiss ;-D - be a work of art. No stickers, please, but adhesive embellishments are okay. You must use lipstick, and you can use any other media as well. It doesn't need to be a Picasso or a Rembrandt, but create something you'd be happy to get.

Be sure to package your ATC well. You may want to get it hand-cancelled if it is fragile or bumpy.

The last day to sign up is Wednesday January 28, and you will have a week to create your ATC before mailing it by February 4th. They should arrive in time for Valentine's Day. Of course you can get a head start if you'd like because this is sender's choice. If you receive a swap that meets the requirements, it should be rated a 5.

Happy smooching and swapping everyone!
