ATC Swap

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.  It's a long weekend here, as it's a civic holiday on Monday, lots of people are enjoying a mid summer's vacation.  It continues to be very hot and humid, I'm not a 'hot weather' girl, I prefer moderate temperatures.  But eventually our bodies adjust and we don't notice it as much and balmy evenings on the deck or patio are wonderful.

Recently I took up a talented artist's, Win Dinn, from Western Canada offer to swap ATCs.   I was looking forward to seeing her art in miniature format as I know she uses lots of texture in her mixed media.

Well to my surprise I received 4 ATCs and many pieces of fun texture art that I can use on cards or mixed media pieces.     Thank you again Win !



Below is the ATC that I mailed out to Win.  I used a Gelli print and a Hummingbird stamp by Designs by Ryn


Stamps by Designs by RynLeafy Branch and Perching Hummingbird.  Ryn's stamps are also available in unmounted sets at a very good value.

I sent along this card (below and seen in a prior post) with the ATC.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend,
Shirley

How lovely to make an ATC for a change. Your hummingbird on a small scale is beautiful and the background you have made for it is stunning as always.

The ATC's you got are gorgeous, as is your ATC. That hummingbird is so adorable, and so is your background. Hope you have a nice weekend. I'm off to my aunt's trailer for the night after I'm done work today and hopefully the weather cooperates for the beach.

Win's textures are so incredible, Shirley! I had to enlarge the photo to be sure to see it all! I especially love the first ATC with the leaves and cones. Gorgeously done.

Your lovely card accompanying the beautiful ATC are both mesmerizing with the true-to-Shirley color scheme, and amazing backgrounds. My favorite is the stenciled fern and moth - gorgeously put together, Shirley!

Wishing you a great week-end!
hugs,
