Description:

People send a lot of fun mail art and rather than toss it I decided to give it new life as an ATC.

For this swap you will use valentines day mail art you have received to create one atc each for two partners. Any stickers, envelopes, washy tape decorations, stamped images, punches from envelopes, etc. are fair game. You may use one or two new components, or other recycled elements but the majority of the card should be mail art. Standard 2.5"x3.5" rule applies.

Sometimes one or both adresses on an envelope are decorated, you cannot use them. Your card cannot have a legible address on it.

Because this mail art is expected to have survived the voyage through the post office it does not have to look pristine, but you are expected to create a card you would enjoy having in your collection. Do not just cut something off an envelope, glue it to a backing and call it a day, use components from the envelopes to make your own art.

This is not a profile based swap, so you can start crafting now.
Sending in a decorated envelope is not required.
Other themes I am thinking of doing: flowers, wax seal, holidays as they come up, snail mail/letter, animals. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
PM me your email address if you would like emails when the next swap in this series is posted.

The minimum rating for this swap is 4.95 with no recent 1 or 3s. I will angel if necessary, but I shouldn't have to. Anyone who flakes on one of my swaps will not be allowed in another.

Please pm me questions, they will be answered more quickly.
