OK girls - I think I am ready to host an ATC swap! (edited because i forgot to type in ATC!!! man i cannot type today! sorry!) I hope we can get enough people to play in this one, but since the April one is winding down and the junkies swap is not too much work... let's play I'd like to host a colors of the rainbow swap with a spring/fantasy - think flowers, fairies, butterflies, bumblebees, sunshine, dragonflies, rain... anything that reminds you of spring! Here's the twist - Pick a color from the list of colors below, and work monochromatically! 1. Aqua/Sky Blue - Sarah - 2. Turquoise/Ocean Blue - Emily - 3. Lime Green - Ruby - 4. Grass Green - Liz - 5. Fushcia - Jessica - 6. Pink - Amanda - 7. Lilac/Wisteria - Michelle - 8. Daffodil - Kathy - 9. Creamsicle Orange - Michelle - Who wants to play? Michelle ********************************************** ALL HERE AND GOING POSTAL TOMORROW - YAY! I hope you all love 'em! Michelle

Hi! Will you allow a "newbie" to join in on all the fun? If so, I would like Daffodil... I've done swaps before but never an ATC one. How does this work? I know the cards are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches but that's about all I know. LOL I have seen the beautiful work the ladies have done on MM ~ y'all are such an inspiration! Kathy

I am assuming that once all the 9 spots are taken you will make 9 cards in your chosen color theme guess we need to know the final sign up date and due date to will have final count
thinking cuz can't make up my mind on the remaining colors....
Amanda, Monochromatic means using only the same color, you can use different shadings of it. For example, if I pick yellow-- I can use bright, pastel and a neon yellows all together (as long as they don't clash) but I can't use any other colors like green, red, black etc.
Kathy other than keeping within the size and using the theme colors/specified items, you can use any techniques and materials you wish. ATC's are for fun and expression so let yourself go!

OK - heres what I have so far for colors:
1. Aqua/Sky Blue = Sarah 2. Turquoise/Ocean Blue = Emily 3. Lime Green 4. Grass Green 5. Fushcia 6. Pink = Amanda 7. Lilac/Wisteria = Me! (michelle) 8. Daffodil = Kathy 9. Creamsicle Orange = April
OK there are still 3 more spots - I will leave this open a couple days and see if anyone wants to fill the spots. Today is thursday, so lets say sign ups will be closed by Wednesday of next week. I hadn't set the due date yet, because we're still just getting signups, but I think 3 weeks might be a good length of time once we close the swap. So you have almost a month to make between 6-9 cards... should be do-able!
(C'mon Ruby... you KNOW you want to.... ;D)
Based on how many spots we fill, that will be how many cards that you have to make - so max you will make is 9 of the same card. FYI, if no one takes any of the greens, I might take one of those slots and double up, because this will be a pretty series in your collection the more colors that you have!
And yes, Amanda, Liz is right on... monochromatic means that you work with different shades and hues of your color. You are allowed for purposes of this swap to include black and white in your monochromatic color scheme. Try to stay as true to your color as you can.. with the understanding that some of your ephemera or do-dads may have a couple of other colors in them. As long as you predominantly stick to your color scheme that is OK.
Sarah I cant wait to see your dragonfly creations! I am not telling what mine are going to include... - i'll just surprise ya!
So who else wants in on this action? LOL!
Michelle
