Description:

In this swap, you will create one postcard that has 2 ATCs on it. This clever idea was seen HERE, about 1/2 way down the page. Now she uses us postal postcards, you can make your own postcard, and then create 2 ATCs on that postcard so that the receiver can simply cut off each to be proper ATC size (2.5 x 3.5 inches).
Your ATC's are sender's choice meaning they can be any theme, and made from any mediums. You could collage, draw, paint, sew, whatever you want, just no sticker slapping. Please try to sign each ATC somewhere. Please don't send rushed and sloppy work, make them nice and glue everything down well as these will be traveling Naked through the postal system at Christmas.
Have fun.

This is a clever & creative way to use collected mail & postal images, pieces of old postcards to make new "postal ATCs." You are first I've read to suggest a postcard sent thru the mail could become 2 postal art collage ATCs. Suspect I have all I need for the collage elements, and then to create the ATCs to one large postcard. The problem for me is the time of year, my schedule gets busy especially Thanksgiving thru Christmas.

Clever idea! I did a similar swap in 2008, except we were just making 1 ATC on the postcard. Here's mine:

Can I remember how to inline it? Will see. my ATC on PC

Yes, it is a busy time of year. I'm sure I'll run it again, if you can't do it this time.

Tricia, what a beautiful ATC. Thanks for sharing it.
