Faux Postage Stamp ATC

I think stamps are interesting little pieces of art in tiny packages. This is a swap for a ATC with a faux or fake postage stamp that you create. It has to look like a postage stamp that you would put on a letter. Your ATC can contain more than one stamp if you wish. You cannot use actual postage stamps.

All stamps pretty much have 3 things in common so they are the requirements for your ATC.

  1. Serrated or perforated edges.

  2. A denomination or value of some kind.*

  3. Place of origin.*

Remember you cannot use a real postage stamp.

*The place of origin, language and denomination can be any place, real or one you make up. If you want to add a postmark you may, I just used a few lines because I didn't want to obscure the picture part of my stamps. That’s up to the artist. Part of mine are from Mars you are not restricted to any planet.

ATCs must be standard size. Senders choice for theme. Sign and title your card however you wish. Remember to include the swap name and your swap-bot name in the envie.

Since I'm a newbie newbies welcome If you are rated less than 4.98 you cannot join. The only way right now I have of taking photos is with my phone which isn’t too smart so please excuse the quality of my photos. I reserve the right to ban swappers.

Wow, what a great idea!!! Sounds like a lot of fun! Watching for now, until the sign up date is a bit closer and I am sure that I can fulfill the requirement, but it is fun to at least start thinking about the designs and all!

The card on the top left is from Mars. It says "Mars Welcomes Earth We Wish To Serve Man.
