WOYWW 4th Anniversary

So all the snoopers interested Bloggers met on line and arranged to swap ATCs with one another in order to mark the 4th Anniversary of this weekly event.  When Julia started this idea she did not realise how many people would join in.  I am sure that if it was a physical meet up then she would be on her twentieth move by now............
The arrangement was that we all swapped with at least the visitor following us and if we wanted to swap with anyone else that was up to us.  It also goes without saying that we didn't have to make swaps if we preferred not to.

I had a ball and made ten - yes! I know! - but I was having a good time!

I used some card the DH didn't  want anymore - leftovers from his boardgame making days - and it had a gorgeous pearlised finish to it.  I stamped this with script in purple and then put it to one side.

I needed to put the letters WOYWW somewhere on this card so I started to look through my stash ........ it's a silly thing to do ........... I just looked through my stamps and, as most of you know, my stamps are' new' and I found some self stamping Alphabets and then a flower - have to have flowers somewhere!

The Alphabet stamps were different colours but they went with the purple so that was ok.  I stamped the flower in various colours - one per card.

I then embossed the whole card with various coloured embossing powders - another 'find' - these were very pale but the result was very interesting.  The Alphabet and flower embossed as though they had been individually done....... amazing!  makes me look quite clever!  

I decided to add some love and then embossed this with clear embossing powder, finishing the cards with a tiny bow.

Back to the base card - DH had sellotaped the sheets together and when I cut out the ATCs I had to make sure that I also cut off the tape.  One still had the tape along the edge and I did not see this until the full card coloured embossing!  too late!  nice finish though!!

They are now winging their way around the world to other WOYWW ers .......... such a loverly group of people.
