Description:

I love history and vintage style and I wanted to make the swap on legendary history people. In a series of swaps will be more historical figures which I added at the end.

For this swap you will be creating 2 (two) ATCs featuring the figure the Luis XIV, also called "solar king". There are no set rules on what you can and cannot use for the card, use your imagination. You will have 2 partners and send 1 (one) ATC to each of your partners.

At ATC card should be something nice from the historical figures and in vintage style.

Be creative and have fun. Any artistic medium is allowed during this swap, you can use cutout images, collages, inks, hand drawn, paints (acrylics, watercolors, etc.) embellishments (ribbon, gems, brads, eyelets, mini flowers, etc).

Please put some time/effort into your ATC. Send something you would be happy to receive yourself! Lets make this a great ATC swap:)

Make your ATC on standars size (2,5 X 3,5 inches). Please uses a paper that is a little bit nicer than plain copy paper and if the paper is not very heavy, please mount it on a firm backing.

Put the appropriate ATC information on the back of the ATC: title, number, artist, information...

Ensure the ATC is securely inside the envelope before sending! Send to your partner:)

Requirements for participation in the swap is rate 4,8 to 5 and new members are allowed and welcome.

Feel free to start working on your ATC as soon as you join, as you will already know what you will be doing.

Happy swapping!

Great swap series! I'm a History nut, even named my dog Louis after the Sun King. Shame I have zero artistic skills to make an ATC :(

I read your bio and it seems we have a lot of similar likes. I too am a stamp collector - mostly US, but I do have some others. I would also love to receive some stamps from your country - I am going to have to look at a map to see where you are. I am in Texas. I am just getting started with ATCs, maybe I can join your swap later. I would love to send you some stuff if you can get your address to me.
