A COUPLE OF SWAPS!!

Imagine how chuffed I was when Chriss from The Artist Trading Club asked if I would like to do ATC swaps!!!!  This is my 2nd now & its really great to get back some wonderful ATC's from such talented people, thank you Chriss XXX

The theme for November was 'keys'.  The ATC is actually a lot brighter irl but thats winter light for you.


The background is a blend of distress inks sprayed with gold glimmer mist.  My castle stamp is from Paper Artsy, which I watercoloured.  The chippie key has been dabbed with 2 colours of versamark & then glassy accented.

The 2nd swap I have done is for the BubblyFunk Forum and is a twinchie.  The theme is Christmas.


The background is distress ink which has been overstamped.  The Father Christmas is part of a larger stamped image which I painted & cut out.  I used my quickie glue pen to add glitter inplaces on his beard and there are stickles for berries on his hood!  Have I been good???? NAH.....thats boring hahahahaha!

Thank you for looking, have a great weekend & keep your feet dry & warm, HUGS XXX
