AIA: ATC Buddy Jam #1

Over 75% of those members who answered the survey I recently sent out said they'd like to try a collaborative swap, so...
Let's try an ATC Buddy Jam! ATC Jams are fun with a touch of mystery. There will be TWO artists contributing to each ATC. Here's how it works:

Artist #1️⃣ starts by making 2 identical (or close enough) ATC starter cards (ATC backgrounds). Starter cards shall have an interesting base and one or two embellishments (please, no stickers). These are not completed ATCs...yet. Add your name, mailing address, and swap info on the back of BOTH ATCs. Then send both of your starter cards to your partner (Artist #2️⃣) in protective sleeves. Artist #1️⃣ anxiously awaits the return of one completed ATC.

Artist #2️⃣ receives the starter cards from their partner. Artist #2️⃣ will now RATE ❤️ their partner for sending this swap. Artist #2️⃣ is excited to add their personal artistic touches to BOTH cards to complete the ATCs along with their name and info to the back. Artist #2️⃣ then returns ONE completed card to Artist #1️⃣ within two weeks of receipt and keeps the other for themself. Note: This part of the swap is on the honor system. Please be diligent.

Your materials and artistic mediums are entirely up to each artist. Please, no digital art, stickers, and limit Washi tape.

I hope you find this type of swap fun. If there's interest, I can continue hosting them. (Image is "Buddy" Holly "jamming")
