Description:

Let's go artists!!

Create an original art atc that features a piece of a security envelope. Have you ever noticed the cool patterns that appear on the inside of a lot of envelopes you receive in the mail (junk mail, check envelopes, etc?) They make fantastic elements on atc's. You can incorporate the security pattern into a collage, paint on it or alter it in someway. Make sure your atc is on a sturdy backing and go nuts. Content is purely sender's choice. Just be creative. Incorporate different types of media. Go further than a cute rubber stamp.

Disclaimer:: Art is a subjective term, interpreted differently by each of us. That being said... this swap is not for artist trading cards made from a sticker, or images printed from online with a simple border around the card. People are usually offended when they receive atc's like that.

Rate a 5 if your partner has sent you an atc that features a piece of security envelope. Do not base your rating on whether you love the card.

artist trading cards (atc) are required to be 2.5"x3.5", or 64x89mm. If you are unfamiliar with the art form please review this: http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html

International swap. You must have a 4.9 rating, no recent no-sends, and no shady activity to participate. I reserve the right to ban anyone I feel will not follow through, including people who only have ratings based on online swaps. I will angel if there are any flakers.

LOL. I started saving those envelopes myself. I'm happy to know I'm not the only nut out there.
