Hi Betsy - what do you usually do to the backs of your card besides the core information?

I usually cover the entire back with a security envelope piece. I print the swap and card information and date on lightweight card stock and use double sided tape to attach it. My handwriting is dreadful and this way people can read the information.

Adding my 2 cents too....On the backs of my atcs, I like to glue a piece of cardstock in coordinating color. This makes the card more firm, and provides a nice blank space to write name and other info. Sometimes I'll even but a small rubber stamped image on the back, or if I have scraps leftover from the front of the card, i'll cut a thin stripe of that and glue it to the back, like a margin, or just a nice accent. Its one of those things that takes little effort but really ties the card together :-)

Number of Cards - 3/3

About the theme:
For this swap, you will be creating 3 different ATCs including the following 3 prompts:

1. The color green somewhere on your card. Any shade of green.
2. The first letter of your screen name. (I would use T for Tafkabecky). Some examples include but are not limited to: hand written, a rubber stamp, a letter cut from a magazine.
3. Landscape orientation (your card should be 3 ½” wide and 2 ½” tall.)

Each of your ATCs should include all 3 prompts.

Theme/subject matter is up to you. Have fun!
No religious or political ATCs. Please and thank you.
I will do this swap every month until I see that there is no interest.

Can’t seem to figure out how to private message you, Tafkabecky, for address to mail my ATCs?

I sent you a private message :-)
There are a few ways to send a pm... if you are in a thread like this, click on the persons profile picture and you'll see a few options. Chosse "start conversation". OR you can go to the top menu bar in dark blue were it says "members" then do a search for the person you're looking for, then click on them, and it should show you some options, then click "start conversation"
to read your incoming "conversations" click on the little envelope symbol near the upper right of the dark blue menu bar.

I hope this was helpfull :-)
