I ♥heart♥ Mail Art - April

Welcome to 'I ♥heart♥ Mail Art - April! Who doesn't love to receive a lovely decorated envie in their mailbox? This swap is for all those who love to display their art on the outside of envelopes for the world to see and enjoy!

So get crazy with your inks, paints, markers, pens, pencils, charcoal, stickers, glitter, glue, fabric, washi tape, & imagination! Decorate that envelope with your heart and soul!

The Nitty Gritty:

Each swap participant is to decorate one envelope for one partner.

Please put your best effort into this --- send something you would LOVE LOVE LOVE to receive!

It's always nice to check out your partner's profile for ideas on likes/dislikes – but it is sender's choice so it is not mandatory.

Minimum envelope size is standard A6 (105mm x 148mm) (4.13 inches x 5.83 inches) anything larger is even better!

Here is a link that gives you the dimensions of all standard international envelope sizes:

EnvelopeSizes

Please include a note inside the envie indicating the swap name, and your swapbot user ID.

To make this swap extra-special, include a small goodie tucked inside the envie ....maybe a postcard, some stationary, your favorite poem or recipe....anything you think your partner will enjoy. You can also check out your partner's profile for a small special item you know they will love --- it's entirely up to the sender.

You will have two weeks to create and send your mail art envie.

The key is to be creative.....let your imagination fly & your inner artist shine! Get those creative juices flowing!

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be rated a 4.95 or better Open to newbies (unrated swappers) --- this is your opportunity to get some great ratings! (and beautiful artwork!) No 1s or recent / unexplained 3s

I am truly hopeful everyone who joins will honour their swap and not flake on their partner. However, I will angel any and all flakers, once you have rated them a 1 .

If you have any questions, please PM me.

HAPPY SWAPPING!!!!
