Digital ATC challenge (can you handle it?)

Hi! I love making digital ATCs. If you do too then perhaps you can handle this challenge. You will make 2 digital ATCs for ONE partner using only your favourite graphics software. The challenge is:

1. The subject must be a person (favourite singer, actor, yourself, ancestor, anyone at all)

2. You must enhance your person's image in some way by adding a depth of shadow or some kind of digital effect (watercolour for example, cartoon, sketch, the effect list is endless, your choice).

3. You must do an interesting digital background effect.

4. Embellish it...using only GRAPHIC EMBELLISHMENTS. Layers of extra pictures, tubes, enhanced dingbats etc. (so no glitter or 'real' stuff)

5. You must add some text. The person's name, lyrics, quote or whatever is relevant to the work you have made. Your text must also be enhanced digitally in some way. (bend text, shadow, texture, interesting font etc)

6. Your ATC must be printed on quality paper. I use glossy photo paper or canvas photo paper.

7. Your ATC must have a proper backing and a digitally printed label. You can create an original label or download one, (or PM me and I will email you a printable sheet) but your ATC must consist of 3 layers (a) your artwork (b) a sturdy backing (c) a backing label. Sorry, but this won't be a thin piece of card type of 'ATC' or a scrawl on a piece of cereal box type of 'ATC'.

This should result in a quality, digital ATC. If you don't think you can fulfill the requirements or you don't do 'digital' ATCs, then this swap is not for you. However if you think you can meet this challenge, please join! I look forward to seeing some fantastic artworks.
It really isn't as difficult as it sounds and I know there are some graphic experts out there (I'm not one but I go to great pains to make mine the best quality possible :)
It is always nice to put your ATCs in plastic or paper sleeves. If you don't have plastic ones, paper ones are so easy to make. Here is a template link: ATC envelope template

You can start your artwork NOW or wait if you wish to do something specific to your partner's likes. That is up to you entirely.

WORLDWIDE SWAP: No recent no sends.
Please send on time: Please rate your partner when you receive your ATCs.

If you have a question please leave a message below or PM me :)

Be creative...make it POP!

Thank you and HAVE FUN! :)
