Let me know about the 52 swap again - I have 25 or so set aside from the first few weeks and then lost my mojo. I think perhaps it's been found...

52 cards

they can all be backgrounds using the techniques from the book

If you get the desire to turn them into finished ATC's then that works too.

Here are my examples of this technique. Since I don't have the book, I wasn't sure what to do with the string so.....
The first two are just phone book paper with the string wrapped around. I used a glaze with Scattered Straw Distress Reinker in it for the aging. The one page is from the restaurant section of the phone book so I added Bistro stamp and cutout and woman from a magazine picture.
The other page has a clear tape transfer of a map on it so the phone book paper shows through it faintly.

The third one I wrapped the tag with the string first, glued the phone book paper over that tightly and then inked on the raised string areas and around the edges with red ink. added a strip of a picture, paisleys cut with Cuttlebug from a flat fridge magnet. These were left from the recycling challenge on the PSL. Lyrics from another song I like. This should be an easy one, almost the whole thing is there.
