January ATCs

Four swaps still continue although our Honoured Leader, Jan, was taken from us too soon.  Barbara and Pauline joined forces to keep the swaps going . . . . . for Jan's sake, she so loved these swaps . . . .

Theme - A Winter's Day

The images were printed on copier paper and adhered to the cards.  Diecut snowflakes formed a border round the images.

These beauties were received from Rubes, Margaret and Barbara.  Thank you one and all 

Colour - Pink/Grey

I started with some pink paper backgrounds.  After finding this serviette in my stash,  I managed to tear it so that I had enough pieces to cover the cards.  I smooshed a printout with picked raspberry and, once dry, cut out the appropriate sentiments.  The sentiments were adhered diagonally.

I received these beautiful cards from PaulineM, Barbara and Margaret.  Thank you all
There were only two of us who entered the Coin Swap.

Coin One - Oriental

This theme meant I could use up my leftovers from the Chinese New Year ATCs.

I used the same process as before, only this time . . . . in the round.

Beautiful gentle coins from Pauline.

Coin Two -  On the Farm

I was going to use some animal stamps but looking at them closer, they weren't really farm animals so it's back to chickens!!  I used some leftover shaving foam papers for the backgrounds, fussy cut the chickens and added a sentiment.

These were my swaps from Pauline.

Partner Swap

I did this stencilling some time ago, kept carefully in my stash it was time to show it off. I added a few diecut butterflies, which were cut from gelli plate prints.  I found one gold frame so added that with butterflies coming through for card no.1 leaving the other two just plain.

These cards had papers which highlighted the subtle shades of the foxes, very pretty.

Thank you PaulineY
