EASU: Christmas Bling ATC

I know this is starting the "busy" holiday season but maybe you would like a little quiet time here and there to be creative. For this swap, you will make one absolutely beautiful Christmas ATC for one partner. By beautiful, I mean that thing has depth and sparkle and texture, that you put time and effort into it, and when it's done, you have to MAKE yourself let it go because you want to keep it for your own... Has this piqued your interest?? Can you make your partner gasp with delight when she opens the envelope from you?? Do you want to step up to the challenge?? There are so many wonderful ribbons and embellishments at this time of year... My hands are itching to make something with them!

This is a Christmas theme, but please look at your partner's profile and make sure what you choose goes along with her beliefs/ religion/ etc. There's no sense in putting your heart into a craft that might offend your partner. That being said, if you don't like Christmas themes as a whole, please don't sign up for this swap!

Make the ATC standard 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" of sturdy backing and write the swap name, your name, and date on the back. Enclose the ATC in a protective sleeve and then package it carefully inside a card and inside a padded mailer or with other padding to keep embellishments from getting destroyed during travel. Tape the envelope well, too. You don't want your hard work getting lost.

I'll angel after you've finally rated your partner a 1, but this is a time intensive swap and I'll do my best to make sure everyone who joins is up to the task and reliable, and hopefully there will be no problems.
