This swap theme always inspires creativity as participants work with 8+1/2" x 11" paper or card stock sheets to add their decorative touch. We are hoping for original art, flat background pieces we can use in future art projects. Or you could make something suitable to be framed!

To decorate your five (5) sheets for this exchange you may paint, ink, sketch, rubber stamp, stencil, or layer, but PLEASE, NO DIGITAL IMAGES, NO STICKERS, NO GLITTER. Thank you. We want to see your original designs :)
