ATCs

Three ATCs made for a swap - they have a printed text background which I have painted over using Paperartsy's Fresco Finish paints. The die cuts have been layered up to give them some dimension and then painted and stamped with a Paperartsy text stamp. They are glued down and then a swirl stamp has been used around the edges of each card and words stamped and added. The ATCs have been finished with a couple of layers of gloss medium

Pocket Swap

This is the 'pocket' I have made for a swap at Your Paper Pantry that includes the three tags shown on my last couple of posts and a few other bits and pieces ... the theme was 'Thinking of You - Angels' ...

I've made three of these and loved it ... hope whoever gets them does too ...
