HOW TO MAKE CARDS FOR THIS SWAP
Recently I learned about and purchased Color Cubes; however, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY COLOR CUBES for this swap. Color Cubes contain 500 different cards with color palettes planned so that the colors on each card work harmoniously together. If you use one of the palettes you won't be making color "mistakes".
For this swap you will be making ATCs using ONLY the colors depicted on card #269 (see below): black, steel blue, amethyst, royal purple, and fuchsia (and a little white if necessary for highlighting). Make the best match to these colors that you can, using your supplies. You CAN'T use yellow, green, orange or other colors not on #269. Hint: When I made my ATCs I gathered the five best matching colored pencils and used only those five to make my cards.

CARD GUIDELINES
* This is a 3 for 3 swap. Make three cards and receive three back.
* Only ATCs allowed. Cards need to measure 2.5" x 3.5" and must be sturdy enough to earn the name "card".
* Cards should be labeled on the back with your username, real name, where you live and name of swap. You may want to give each card a title.
* Each completed ATC should be in an individual vinyl sleeve for added protection.
* Consider posting your finished cards in this thread and in the gallery. We all love eye candy and it serves as an inspiration for everybody! If you don't post your ATCs to the thread, I will try to remember to copy them to the thread so that everybody can see your creations. Let me know when you see cards that you especially like by checking "like" for a post or making a comment in the thread or gallery, or even sending me a message. When I swap out cards I look at comments made by players and try to give players cards that they like.
* A host ATC in the swap theme is appreciated and will be treasured, but is not a requirement!
HINTS FOR POSTNG CARDS TO THE THREAD
I wrote some detailed instructions for putting thumbnail images to the thread. The instructions may be used for placing new images or for enlarging your images if what you previously posted are small and located below the words "Attachments". See my post of February 2, page 5 of this thread, post #91. This is optional.
