Vintage or Retro ATC

Make a vintage or retro inspired ATC. While my opinion is certainly not gospel, I think of vintage as the Renaissance to the 1920's, while retro is the 30's to 70's. I just can't call the 80's retro yet because that would mean I'm old, but if you must, the 80's would be ok too.

If you need images, try The Graphics Fairy I've seen gorgeous images printed from this site. She has over 1800 FREE IMAGES!

*Please use at least 1 layer on top of the base and 2 embellishments on the main area of your ATC. Please use ALL quality items to make this ATC.

*Stickers, AS ACCENTS, should be limited to high quality scrapbooking or card making stickers, not the kind meant for kids or teacher’s reward stickers.

*If you use rubber stamping; please stamp cleanly, missed areas or double lines are not acceptable.

I usually do not allow computer printed images for my swaps because some have been printed badly but I'll allow it this time. Just be sure your printer has lots of ink and prints well.

*Please make a beautiful ATC you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive. Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight.

*Please don't be discouraged by my rules. I am only referring to general tidy practices, not tiny flaws. I've received a card so saturated with glue I could knock on it and get hollow noises! I've received a note book with edges that looked like they had been cut with a saw! I just expect tidy work!

*Please check your partner’s profile for dislikes and avoid those. For instance, do not use emerald green, any fluorescent or bright orange on mine because I hate those colours.

*Please have a 4.95+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me ahead of the sign up deadline. Newbies are welcome with WELL FILLED out profiles (About Me, Likes, Dislikes at least) and MUST PM me at least 3 days before the end of the swap to show good intentions. A newbie is someone with less than 5 completed and rated type 2 or 3 swaps. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out. If you are really worried, give me a heads up! I’ve been flaked on too many times, I've stopped keeping track, so I get it!

Enjoy! Rebecca
