Domino Swap

Swapping with Hally


I was determined to use this domino to tell a story and I wanted to use watercolour papers and paints.
I printed out the title pages and used them on the cover.



Thinking 'Hot Air Balloons'  I opened out the domino and attached cut pieces of watercolour paper to each ATC.

The first balloon was away in the distance, with the nearer balloons slowly coming closer ..... and larger .....


I attached the paper to both sides of some of the cards so that the pictures were showing in order .... does that make sense?


As the balloons get nearer into view then the ground starts to appear below .......





........ and then we have almost the full picture!




 ........ and of course, it folded into this small envelope....





My return domino was superb!!!

All the front (or insides)

All the backs were covered.

Hally had just purchased a gelli plate and was experimenting so she used her domino as a background to display her artwork. 

 I feel very honoured and privileged to be the keeper of her samples!

Thank you Hally for this honour.

Domino Host Card

I decided to decorated a Domino card as a Thank You to the host of one of my swaps.  I have been sending an extra card but thought the Domino would be something different.
I used some of the stickers from my stash and thoroughly enjoyed myself.




I used the corners and a flower for the closed 'front' page.

When opened to the next page I thought this looked like a 'contents' page and used some letter stickers.

Flowers decorated the next pages.......

....... and continued onto the next page ........

A fashionable lady with some flowers completed the last two pages.

I love the way the cards open up but then fold down to fit inside this tiny envelope!!

Domino Owls

An introduction to the Domino ATC card.

Way back in time I discovered an ATC kit.  Now I had been looking at these cards on and off for some time and, when I saw this kit, I knew I wanted to start swapping.


The Dominoes are folded in the kit so I had no inkling how they would look unfolded ...... quite interesting!


So I started decorating, well you have to don't you?!?!


I used some of the papers for the backgrounds and then found some diecuts of owls.  I just enjoyed myself and then ...... folded them all away!!!
