Happy Mail-depth/dimension
« on: September 08, 2016, 11:09:18 AM »
Welcome to another Happy Mail Card Swap as we move into our fall routines #>

Any day that includes a handmade card in my mailbox becomes extra special for me and I hope it is the same for you.  So this swap is an opportunity to make a card and send it to another assigned player.

Challenge for this card the challenge is to make a background with depth and/or dimension by using ink or any other liquid to create ink drops, splatters etc.

Timeline details:

1.  Sign-up to participate by adding a note on this thread before at midnight your time on Monday, Sept 12.  I will sign you onto the list below.  You will be assigned to send to the person who signed on before you.  My card will be sent to the last person signing the list so
everyone will receive a card.
2.  Please post on this thread a note of your progress as well as any questions/comments.
3. Make your card.
4. Take a photo of your card before mailing.
5.  All cards must be in the mail no later than Wednesday Sept. 28 midnight your time.  Please post a note on this thread when your card is in the mail.

I know I am bad, but I never sign up for something unless I have an idea of what to make.
Now that does mean it will work, but I need a starting point.

Oh Sheila whatever works for you is always best.  Sometimes it can be just too stressful to do it any other way.

Oh yesterday was a Happy Mail Day for me!  I received a beautiful fall card which included many colorful splatters.  I can’t wait until April shares her card along with her creative technique of creating splatters.

I have been working on my swap card today. I have come up with something and now I am letting it sit while I decide whether to add anything else or not.  Fun!
