Wax Crayons

Wohoo lots more colours of crayons to try for resist projects and in my melt pot. Looking forward to playing with these and my thanks go to my freaky deaky friend for giving them to me. Looks like i have a few bits to play with and use in the up and coming swaps.

My Lusherly stash has grown

My lusherly paper stash has grown :) My freaky deaky friend and i ordered these papers from frantic stamper in the clearance sale. At one point we weren't sure if there would be any left by the time it got our order, but thankfully we got them. They are lusherly and i'm looking forward to being able to use them as i am sure my freaky deaky friend is.

Men Men Men

I was looking forward to doing these because it isn't often that i do atc's specifically with Men. I found the images i was going to use first and then worked from there. I also had a card i had received from my freakydeaky friend which also inspired me. Once finished i was really pleased with what i had created and was happy to send them in to the group to be swapped and i am looking forward to receiving my return swaps.

UKATC August partner swap

These were for the August monthly partner swaps on ukatc. I was really tempted to keep the middle one but i was strong and sent it to my partner. Hope she likes it as much as i do.

Favourite Colour swap

These were done for a "my favourite colour" swap on ukatc. I have a few fav colours at the moment but decided to go for lilac and blue as i have done some of my fav colours for other groups and have used some of my other fav colours.

second gothic Arch

This is the 2nd arch finished. Again i have added words round the edge using wax from my melt pot. I then had an image that i took the flat looking wings off and added some new pink textured and slightly squidgy wings. I also added a couple of vellim flowers in the background. Added lace at the bottom but with the lace coming down below the bottom of the arch. I alcoholed a butterflu which i put on the top of the arch. Added a lilac shimmer butterfly as well as adding some butterfly gems to finish it off. This is the words used

If you ever watched a butterfly
You would think the same
To call him rather flutterby
Is more a fitting name.

Gothic Arch 1

kies so this is one of my arches finished. I added lace at the bottom and then stamped the butterfly ladr and added her to the arch. I then alcohol inked two butterflies and added these along with a sequin flower. I added wording around the edge of the arch and added swirls going off the gothic arch using some mega chunky monkey wire. Then hay presto it was done. Here is what is said around the arch

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit
the
changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty

RAK for Kathleen

This is a little thank-you for Kathleen who is guest hosting the gothic arch swap. So i have made an atc gothic arch

Purdy Puss

This is my little companion Purdy Puss. She makes herself very comfortable in my beanbag! I think she has decided to claim it as hers!!!!

Jam Swaps

I recently took part in a jam swap with UKATC and these are the three atc's i received. I love them all and was well chuffed when they dropped on my doormat. I would definatley participate in another jam as they are so much fun and ending up with three atc's that 3 different people have worked on it great.

The people who contributed to these are Anne, kirsteen and Paula. My thanks to all three.

Bernie Berlin swaps

These are the swaps i created for UKATC using 3 different Bernie Berlin techniques. The first is the emboss resist technique, the second is glass like resin and the third one is the resin fresco technique. All of the techniques were ones i had not tried before and now i want to do more!
