2nd swap for summer - “I Dream of Architecture”.

In keeping with Artella’s tradition of words and art, our second summer ATC swap is “I Dream of Architecture”.
For this swap we’re asking for a bit of writing on the back, anything from why that particular architectural form speaks
To you, to how it reflects your own inner landscape. You can choose an inner focus, or outer, which ever you prefer,
And it’s a great chance to use all those fabulous architecture stamps!!
The basic ATC guidelines are 3.5 x 2.5, on a cardstock base, you may use playing cards if you wish, just don’t forget
You’ll need to write on the back.
The swap is four for three, so you send 4,
And I keep one, for publication on our new ATC site,
“Artella’s ATC Swap Land”, http://artellaartistcards.blogspot.com/ ,
and possibly the magazine, and you get back 3 cards from other artists.

You must send a Stamped Self Addressed Envelope with your entry! The signup deadline for this swap is July 30th
Cards are due in my hands August 30th - firm! To sign up- email Deb at deb@artellaland.com before the deadline, with the name of the swap in the subject line. You must be willing to make a firm commitment to this swap. If you need more info about ATCs before you sign up - check out this link- http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html

Be on the lookout this fall for “Shall we Dance”, “American Gothic”,
And Victorian Splendor.
