Swap categories:	Artist Trading Card (ATC)
Number of people in swap:	8
Location:	International
Type:	Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:	February 21, 2011
Date items must be sent by:	April 1, 2011
Number of swap partners:	2
Description:
Using 2 pieces of plastic (I used a clear plastic file folder) apply several drops of 3 colors of reinkers to the inside of the plastic Close the plastic & brayer over the top of the plastic to mix the ink but not enough to not tell you are using 3 colors.. Place 2 pieces of white glossy cardstock inside the plastic back to back so that the glossy side is facing out. Close the plastic & brayer until the ink is transferred to the cardstock. Remove the cardstock & allow to dry. This is pretty enough to use alone on a card, but we are going to stamp something on an ATC once the cardstock is dry. You will be sending one ATC to 2 partners. You are a trusted member of this group but I reserve the right to ban.

Is the send-by date correct?

123Poggy123 02/17/2011 #

Yes because I am hosting several swaps at the same time & I didn't want anyone to feel overwhelmed, so I gave this swap plenty of time to get it done & sent.

Sounds great. .. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a typo ~ thanks for responding so quickly.

What are we to do once it dries??

123Poggy123 02/22/2011 #

Stamp something on it. .

I did mine yesterday & now I have to go buy some more reinkers & glossy cardstock because I had so much fun. I stamped them with black StazOn.

I tried to do mine today, but it turned out to be a complete desaster. I used distress reinkers and different kinds of cardstock and plastic, but they turned all out really ugly. I hope there are two good enough to make a background. They are drying now, I keep my fingers crossed.

I also tried distress reinkers & ended up throwing them away. I hope yours turned out OK.

Which reinkers did you use?

123Poggy123 02/28/2011 #

Regular reinkers from StampinUp.

Unfortunately I can't buy StampinUp products in the Netherlands. I am curious to know what the other participants use(d)!

Do you have access to any other reinkers that are water based dye ink? I will PM you.
