Hi Gang!
I recently swapped some Happy Mail with a lovely blog buddy (thank you so much, you know who you are!).
The following ATC is the first thing I made, using just half of a pretty sunflower that was in the Happy Mail.
All I had to do was stamp a grungy background onto a snippet of white card for the ATC base, then add the sunflower (coloured with Promarkers). The Small Talk sticker finished it off. I also inked around the ATC edges with a black ink pad.

I was so pleased with the first sunflower ATC that I made another, with a very similar background and the other half of the original flower - although they were made on different days!

If you're curious to know what I received in the swap, here it is in all its glory! That little lot will keep me occupied for quite a while!

Over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND there's a new challenge to enter, with yours truly in charge for the next fortnight. Why not use up some of your snippets then come and play? You can even join in with the game of Tag that's going on!

A wonderful collection of so useful 'bits' from your blog buddy - so good to have like minded friends isn't it 😉. The two ATC's are super and a brilliant idea to stretch the sunflower into two projects.

Due meravigliose ATCs Sarn, è stata una grande idea tagliare il girasole a metà ed abbinarlo con i tuoi meravigliosi sfondi grunge!! Mi piacciono molto entrambe!
ReplyDeleteSono sicura che con quelle forme tagliate farai tantissimi lavori meravigliosi! :)
Io invece potrei attaccarli tutti su un'unica card! LOL :D :D
Un abbraccio, buona Domenica!
Such a beautiful ATC Sarn, I love it.
