Facebook Group swapping

I have never swapped one to one before and I have found it very difficult to send my address out there.  As I understand it, although I have used Messenger, that still gives Google my details.  Well, it's done now.
I saw a card on one of the Groups .... I won't tell you which one cos there's rather a heated debate going on at the moment .......
Anyhoos, I asked her if she would swap with me, and then she said, she had seen one of my cards on my Blog and asked if I could make her an ATC in similar scene.

It so happens that I love this set from Little Claire so I was quite happy to have a go.


I stamped the little dog and the watering can and then used a mask to keep it safe.  I painted on the grass and watercoloured the rest of the card with a blue wash.  After removing the masks I used my Intense pencils to colour the images and then tried to figure out how to get the sentiments on the card!!
I cut a mask out of post-it note paper so that I could stamp just the Huge Hugs wording.  Using my ATC acrylic block I stamped the sentiment in the top right corner of the card.  I edged the card using Distress Ink and I think it has worked out ok.
Robin sent me the following cards inside a folded card showing a cheeky calf peeking out between its mother's legs.



This is the card that I swapped, gorgeous Steampunk.


Robin also enclosed this background, suggesting I could use it but I have to just look at it first .... could be a long time .....


Thank you Robin for a great swap.
