Description:

Take a colored piece of cardstock (you can use a full size sheet or ATC size) & mist it with water.

Now take a hammer (I used the ball pin end - the pointed end) or end of the handle of a paint brush & pound the damp cardstock. Do not pound hard enough to tear the cardstock but hard enough to dent the paper.

Iron the cardstock flat from the side you pounded on. Please attach this to a sturdy backing. This is to be used as your background for your ATC.

If you are feeling artsy, you can paint the ATC instead of using colored cardstock.

I tried to take a picture of my sample but the dents did not show up.

One partner will receive one ATC.

It's called ball peen end and you might want to specify this is a jewelry hammer not a household one.

Ball Peen"s aren't just for jewelry. They come in all sizes and shapes. I have my dad's old one that he had in his tool box forever. This is going to be a fun swap!

A regular ball peen hammer will work.
