Atc's

Hello 

These are this months ATC's for the the face book group I'm on.

The theme was In the Garden with a textured background.

So I used paste through a stone wall effect stencil, I die cut some Ivy and stamped and fussy cut the herb pots.

I used  distress inks, Lili of the Valley stamps, Joanna Sheen Ivy die and the butterflies were a gift from a friend.

Thanks for your visit much appreciated x

Thank you

Hello 

When I made my last batch of ATC's I made the host this thank you card that matched,

just to say thanks for all the hard work she puts in to the swaps.

I actually love it and may play around with some more.

Inkylicious stamps , distress inks and Christina Griffiths dies.

As always thanks for visiting x

Sympathy

Hello

Sharing a sympathy card with you, an old work colleagues wife passed away and

 I made this card for him.

The verse I used was only a cheap set but I was very disappointed that two of the verses had

whole punch marks through them, I hadn't noticed till I tried to stamp them out.

I will try to take them back to the shop but I don't have the receipt.

I so like this stamp for sympathy cards but it's yet another one I can't remember the name of,

coloured with H20's.

Thanks for popping by, much appreciated.

MDF

Hello 

I thought I'd do my post before I forget again, week two starts tomorrow...lol

I created some backgrounds using lavinia stamps and a mixture of distress ink and oxides and some versafine clair inks. 

I them attached them to some MDF boards front and back so you can have a different view. 

I'm never sure with the white pen hi-lights, I either do to many or not enough and feel it doesn't work but this looks OK for a change.

The top two (front and back)  I sent over the pond to my good friend Lis.

As always thanks for your visit x

ATC's

Hello

            Where has the week gone, I missed my weekly blog, I think it because I'm working full         time for the next 3 weeks to cover holidays and it's only week one and I'm all over the place...lol

Anyway on to my post, these are some ATC's for a Facebook swap I'm in.

The theme for these was cosmo and it was colour themed. 

I used my distress inks and stamps by Inkylicious.

The theme for this one was Grungy Summer or the letter J.

 I went for the letter J and did Jelly fish because I just don't get Grunge at all.......rofl

There were 4 all basically the same but I forgot to take a photo and this is no 4 which

 is the one I keep.

I used distress inks, a stencil and the Jelly fish were hand drawn, 

as you can probably tell  :)

The theme here was time, so I went for  "Time for Change" and I used butterflies to represent change.

Distress Oxide, Inkylicious and I printed some free clip art for the caterpillar 

As always thanks for the visit I really do appreciate it!
