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 #022 (see below): hunter green, forest green, royal blue, gold, and orange (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 red, purple, or brown or other colors not on #022.

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.

Here are some swatches I made to show how my watercolor pencils match up to the cards. The colors that I think are the best matches are marked by an asterisk (*).

Here are cards that I made for the swap. If you want to receive any of these with your returns, please indicate your preferences by making a comment in the thread or in the gallery, sending me a PM, or marking "like" or "love" for the thread. I really do look to see what people want when I swap out. Keep this in mind for any cards you see posted for this swap. I can't always give you what you want if more than one person makes a request, but I try to make the traders happy.

American lotus
Plains prickly pear cactus (what appears as red is really more orange on the card)
California poppies along the Pacific coast (what appears as red is really more orange on the card)

I adore your set, Jo!
And i particular, the fresh vibe of the Calofornia Poppies on the Pacific coast! Really seems to feel the seabreeze!

And... join also for this!!!
 
Glad to see that you have joined, CiCiCreates. Sometimes a limited palette can be very challenging, but it will help you grow as an artist. On the other hand, it is nice to have a familiar choice of colors.
