PA: Mystery Supply Challenge

❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
This swap is limited to 12 people. I will close the swap signup if/when we reach 12 people and start the swap soon after. So, the last day to sign up as well as the send by date may change, however, there will be a 6-week time frame to allow for the mystery item to reach you, to create your cards, and to mail them out.

In this swap, I'll mail each participant a mystery supply item (with enough material for 3 cards) which must be used to create EITHER: an Artist Trading Card (ATC), OR an Ink Box Card, OR a Postcard.

Whichever card type you chose to create, the sizes must be:
* ATC 3.5" x 2.5", either portrait or landscape
* Ink Box Card 3"x3" with rounded corners
* Postcard 4"x6", either portrait or landscape

On a separate piece of paper or on the back if PC size, please include a creative short story or poem befitting your card (i.e. how it was created, what inspired your theme, your creative mood, what feelings it evoked, what is it trying to say, or whatever else you wish to write about).

Once completed, you will mail one to your swap-bot assigned partner. The other card you will mail to me in exchange for sending you the mystery supply (aka "host card") and so I can gather all of them and post them in our Group Forum Google Photo Album. My mailing info will be included with the mystery supply itself. NOTE: If you get me as a partner, you only need to send me one card - no host card is necessary.

With the exception of what is used to create the cards, any leftover mystery supply item is yours to keep. The “supply” could be lace, stencils, rub-on transfers, charms, baubles, die cuts, stickers, ephemeral bits, fabric, or anything else! Each person will receive the same mystery supply (colors may vary) and I will keep it relatively flat so you can mail with one letter-rate stamp (unless you add the bulk).

Please make the cards with some interest, quality, and care, using enough of the mystery supply to make it evident. Add swap and artist info on the back and send in a protective sleeve along with your story or poem.

IN A NUTSHELL:
1. Receive mystery supply
2. Create cards and story/poem
3. Send one to your partner, send one to host

Please have fun with it! We can't wait to see your creations!
