Description:

I am majorly addicted to making my own background papers for my swaps. Mainly ATCs, but cards, journals and mixed media projects, too. I'll bet you guys have that same problem! :)

So, for this swap, take 6x6 white card stock and use ink sprays and/or gelli plate printing with stencils or other cool techniques to make some beautiful papers to swap.

Send your partner 4 (6x6) papers that have been originally designed by you! You can look on your partner's profile for some personalization, but this is sender's choice, so everyone takes a risk. :)

Does it have to be Gelli prints or spray inks? I have some other techniques that I like to do that are just as nice.

Sure, other techniques are ok to use.

Sorry I had to pass on this swap, it is the high heat & humidity here in FL that is bad for making lovely & pretty ATC backgrounds. Takes longer for inks, dyes, acrylics, etc., to dry, can't spray varnish or coat with a varnish as it would "bloom" - show milky - cloudiness, & if I send there is chance the papers, cardstock would stick together even if I inserts non-sticky protectors between sheets. So, yes, I must pass until winter time. Perhaps we could do a "winter" - themed backgrounds in Nov?
It would be cooling off here by then. Hope all of you have fun in this swap!

Sorry you can't play, @whippet I'll try to host a winter one.
