C+P ATC: 5 Things

Create one collage ATC using only 5 items (besides the ATC backing & glue). For some, using only 5 items to make an interesting piece of art will be easy; for others, limiting themselves might present a real challenge. Let's see how creative we can all be.

What does/doesn't count as 5 different items:

• The ATC backing - recycled cardboard, heavy card stock, watercolor paper - is not included in the count of 5 things. If you cover that backing with something - book page, patterned paper, paint - that will count as one of your 5 items.

• Items identical in pattern, shape, size & color, or letters/words used to make up a word/quote count as single items together. Paint & ink touches of the same color count as single items; if you use different things to stamp using one color of paint, or doodle different things using the same color ink, they count as one item together.

If there's an angle I haven't covered, feel free to ask in the comments. Theme & artwork are sender's choice; usual ATC rules apply (2.5"x3.5" in size, sturdy backing, info on back).

The swap graphic (updated Dec. 11th) is one of the ATC's I made for this swap. Materials used: piece from a comic book page, vinyl sticker strip, magazine image, book image & circle stickers.
