Circle of Crafters ATC Swap - New Beginnings

Lynsey is hosting this swap at the Circle of Crafters and I entered with these ATCs.  
I took as my focal point the New Library being built in our City Centre.  The design has caused a lot of discussion on the web and in the streets.  After looking at the ATCs as I worked on them I am getting to quite like the building!!

I added suitable text to each picture and then embossed.

 On this one I clear embossed the whole picture and then added both black embossing and glitter using my glue pen.  It suggests trees..................

I added the ricrac braid to bring all the ATCs together.



The clear embossing is only on the the right hand side and the black embossing all along the bottom.  Once again I added the ricrac and also some  ribbon braid along the bottom.



I clear embossed the left half of this one and added black embossed tree outline with the glitter falling down.............
Ribbon braids added the finishing touch.




Unfortunately the real world took over and they were relegated to the 'to be posted' box.  Today I received the following ATCs from my swap partner Judy - ooops! - after an apology via the Circle my ATCs will be in the post tonight!!



A really peaceful scene followed by 

a 'hanging' one and 

a definite 'new beginning' suggestion.


Well done Judy!  I love them.
