Unique background creations for ATCs & inchies!

Let's have fun trying some simple background techniques to make unique backgrounds that can be used for atcs, inchies, twinchies, tags, whatever!

We'll try three different background techniques, sender's choice (if you need some hints, take a peek here: http://www.easilyamusedhardtooffend.blogspot.com )

After making your backgrounds, assuming you're using 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper, cut a strip from the paper that measures 3 1/2 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches long--you will basically cut the paper into two strips, one for each of your partners, and still have a slightly larger piece left over for you to keep. These strips will each be large enough to cut three atc size cards from, but DON'T cut them down to size--your swap partner may want to make a tag, or twinchies, or inchies . . .

You will mail each of your two partners one of each of your three different background strips. These will easily fit into a business size envelope, and will probably only take one stamp to mail, depending on the techniques you choose. It's also regional, to help make this an inexpensive swap.

We will all end up with enough new and original background technique papers to make at least 18 atcs (from our swap buddies), PLUS the extra we have left over from our own creations!

Since this is sender's choice, we can all begin now--as always, please be sure to send only what you would love to receive in return. Newbies welcome! No ratings under 4.9.

I haven't hosted a swap in years, so please ask questions and help me get this right!

I love making backgrounds, and hope that some of you do, too! :)
