Swap Due Date - October 25, 2025
Signup/withdraw date - None, just make sure you give yourself enough time for ATCs to arrive
Number of Cards - 3 for 3
Number of participants - Unlimited
Medium - You may draw or paint your ATCs, find pictures to make a collage, or make a digital image
Subject - anything you want as long as the colors used appear on Color Cube #260: landscapes, animals. abstract etc.
In my mind, I'm calling this "Fall 1". I will have a "Fall 2", using other fall colors, in a number of weeks if all goes as planned.
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 #260 (see below): marigold, orange, crimson, burgundy, dark green (and a little white or black if necessary for highlighting or outlining). You do not need to use all of the colors on any one ATC. Pick as many or as few as you want, as long as the colors on your ATC appear on the palette. Make the best match to these colors that you can, using your supplies. A perfect match may not be possible. You may use a very light saturation (pastel tones) as well as deep saturation shown on the Color Card. You CAN'T use blue, lavender, pink or other colors not on #260.
This is the front of card #260, showing the colors and a picture. using all of the colors.
This is the back of card #260 showing the five colors with variations of color intensity.
CARD GUIDELINES
* 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 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" or "love" 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!
MAILING GUIDELINES
* PM me for my address when cards are ready to send. The Beech Cluster address is where I live.
* US Players: Send a large label with your name and address clearly printed on it. Include one "Forever" stamp for your returns. I WILL PROVIDE ENVELOPES.
* International Players: Send a large label with your name and address clearly printed on it. I will provide postage. I WILL PROVIDE ENVELOPES.
FEEDBACK and REPUTATIONS
* I will give you a Feedback when I receive your ATCs.
* When you receive your cards, please don't forget to leave a Reputation for the artists whose ATCs you receive. To give a Reputation, click on Reputation in the lower right of any post made by the person who made the card. You may write a message (people like to know what card you received and maybe why you like the card) and points if you wish (points are optional). Send a Feedback for me, if you like the way the swap was handled.
