Number of people in swap:25
Location:International

Last day to signup/drop:September 13, 2009
Date items must be sent by:September 29, 2009
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

I know people have done these before, but I thought I'd host a ATC swap for newbies. Make sure you have a well filled out profile. All others are also welcome with a good rating.

You will send 1 ATC to each of 2 partners, for a total of 2 ATC's.

The only theme in the swap will be "Colorful". For better ratings you can try to make an ATC that your partner will like by looking at their profile.

Please put some effort into making your ATC's nice, not just a sticker slapped onto a background.

I reserve the right to ban anyone from this swap that I see fit.

Please only sign up if your sure about it, no flakers so we all have fun.

Since this swap is for newbie, could you consider changing the "sent by" date to have a little longer delay. I'd like to try ATCs based on my partner's profile, but since I've never done any before, I'm afraid I won't have enough of one week to do it.

I'm a newbie so I don't know how this really works, if you can help guide me. Where do I post the works once they're done so that I can show the person I swapped with what I made and also to see what they made me? How do I find out who my partners will be? Do you message me?

@ toupti, I'll extend the send by date.

@ Lorivintage55

You send your ATC's in the mail to your partner. Once the partners have been assigned you'll get a message that tells you who your partners are.

Since this swap is international you may have to spend a dollar or two in postage if you get a partner that is out of this country.

I hope this answers your questions.

Watching and joining in closer date.

Toupti 09/ 7/2009 #

@phoerauf ~ thanks so much for that. I really do appreciate it. This will be my first ATC swap and since it's for newbies, I'll feel less pressure from the risk of dissapointing my partner. I'm in!!! ;-}

I'm so excited about this swap! I've wanted to try my hand at an ATC but didn't want to dissapoint anyone either. :-)

Masterbard 09/ 7/2009 #

Oooh, ditto! I haven't made an ATC in ages, and it's wonderful to have an incentive to get back into making these little art jewels. Liking the "Colourful" theme, too: I was inspired to create 'Mauvelous', 'Vermilion', and 'Vert-Bleu'... now, which two out of those three do I give up? :)

Lorivintage55 09/ 9/2009 #

@ phoerauf, thanks for the explaination! I've joined of course :)

Darkeuridi 09/10/2009 #

I've just joined this swap and it will be my first :) I've made ACs before for my friends and such so I'm sure this will be just as fun!

Ive recieved many atc's from artists who are just getting into this art and have never been dissapointed...In general atc artist are very friendly and and understanding that people have different level and types of artistic ability....I would like to join this but Im not a newbie at it...But if anyone every critisizes your art, then they probably are'nt a very nice person....

Serenity 09/13/2009 #

Sweetie, you said, "all others welcome with a good rating".. I am going to join {I'm really not sure when, newbie stops}. I've been making ACT since May.. I still have so much to learn about them. {If you have to take me out of the swap I would understand}..

Candyn29, I could not agree with you more. You said that perfectly.

AmandaMarieYA 09/13/2009 #

ACTs?

Masterbard 09/14/2009 #

(smiles)

Artist Cool Totally?

Art Comes Tops?

All Creative Types?

But I think she probably meant ATCs (Artist Trading Cards)...

Toupti 09/14/2009 #

can't wait to have participants assigned so I can start preparing my personnalized colorful ATCs ;-)

Lorivintage55 09/14/2009 #

When will the participants be assigned so I can start working? :)

Masterbard 09/15/2009 #

(adds her voice to the nags) Though I shouldn't, because though it's already the 15th here in Korea, it's still the 14th over there in North America.... I'm just too impatient!

I already made four, but if I have time I'd love to personalize my ATCs for my partners as well. Mind you, if I keep working away at 'colour' theme cards, I'll have enough to choose from and still get it right!

phoerauf 09/15/2009 #

I'm SOOO sorry. I could have sworn I assigned partners on Sunday, but I guess it must have been my imagination.

Thanks you Toupti for sending me a direct message, and again, I apologize!

Lorivintage55 09/15/2009 #

Ok, I don't know how to find someone's profile here....can anyone point me in the direction as I'd like to see who was chosen for me so that I can make something they like...HELP? Email me at [email protected] PLEASE!! THANKS!

Lorivintage55 09/15/2009 #

Nevermind, I figured it out...doh me blush
