Hi! I live in NJ, USA. I have a huge ATC collection that I’m always looking to add to. Please no overtly religious or political cards. Also I store my cards in baseball card sleeves in a binder, so no movable (i.e. ones that open or pop-up) or overly bulky cards, please.I am glitter averse (though glittery/ shimmery ink is always fun!).

*Themes I’m collecting in all mediums, so do whatever you’re best at (hand drawn, mixed media, stamped, collage, digital, whatever):

-Australia
-Canada
-England/ UK
-mixed media with a heart and a positive affirmation (nothing valentines-y, please)
-quilting or sewing
-bees
-the TV show Endeavour
-the TV show Pushing Daisies
-the Canadian TV show X Company
-the TV show Justified , particularly the characters Tim and Raylan
-the British TV show Brassic

*Themes I’d prefer hand drawn cards for:

-sloth
-llama
-moose
-bear
-frog
-a whimsical fairy
-a jester
-Henry Foss from the TV show Sanctuary
-The Hunger Games (prefer your own version of the characters/ scenes based on the books, rather than based on the movie actors)
-any character from Umbrella Academy (the Netflix series, not the comic book version)
-any character from the TV show The Office (US version-- so far I have Michael and Dwight)

I claim thanate for TBD!

My preferences:
— Hand drawn or hand painted are my very favorite (of all skill levels!), but please do feel free to do other styles.

— I prefer flat paper cards without 3d elements so I can store them in sleeves. If the theme you picked needs to be bulky (i.e. moveable cards) that’s fine too.
— I love glitter & shine, gold/silver leafing, metallic, glow in the dark etc.
— I would prefer not to receive: creepy bugs (things like spiders, wasps, centipedes), clowns, political, nudity/pinups, curse words or blood/gore.

Thank you for claiming me!

Themes:

• Botober — Weird but fun prompts! Please write the prompt on the back so I will know what it is in the future.
