Hi Crafters,
Monday morning again, these weeks roll round very fast and the time seems to be racing by for me.
I have some ATC's to share with you today which were for the swap at Charmed Cards and Craft.
Our theme this month was....
The Best Thing About Lock-down
As you can see I have enjoyed the extra time in my craft room that lock-down has brought. It has allowed me to comfortably complete my customer card orders and have time to spare to create and express my own art. It has been lovely to just let my artistic juices flow in whatever direction they wish to go.
Here's a close up.
I created my background using Distress Oxide inks, after giving it a coat of matte medium I stamped the script and added the white splatters. The alarm clock is a Joy Crafts die which has been cut from an 'ink smooched' background, dry embossed then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The sentiment was created on the computer and cut apart. I then added twine and lace and those gorgeous little blooms from Wild Orchid Crafts. The wooden shapes behind the clock are from a Recollections pack that I have had for years.
Challenges I'd like to enter:
A Bit More Time To craft - #119 ATG
Love To Craft - #48 ATG
Country View Challenges - Do What Makes You Happy
Craft-Dee Bowz - ATG +Bow
More Mixed Media - July ATG optional Pastel
SSS Wednesday Challenge - Bright and Cheerful
These are the swaps that I received in return and as you can see lots of us have been making the most of this awful situation we are in and escaping in to our crafts.
Well that's all from me today,
see you again soon.
