"The Market Place" by princess 4Wiz

Flower Power by Helen S --you can't quite get the gentle shimmer that covers the whole thing

Bee Happy (bee different) by Kitten with Claws, the bees are embossed black; it came in a wee bag, just behind it in the photo, they are now going to be put away safely until I've finished moving

Thank you Ladies they are true wee pieces of art

Beautiful creations ladies :clapping:

Mine arrived an hour or so ago (postie late today), I'll endevour to get pics up asap.

And I know what you mean about an envelope with your own handwriting on Millburn LOL Just slightly disconcerting...

[Princess4Wiz]

Those are lovely Helen S and KWC. I'd never made an ATC before this swap, so wasn't too sure quite what to create.

I'm glad you like it Millburn :D

[kitten_with_claws]

Lovely creations P4W & Helen S! :cool2:


I'd never made an ATC before this swap, so wasn't too sure quite what to create.

No, nor me P4W - it is quite hard trying to think 'small', isn't it?
I decided to make a run of 3 on a 'be/bee....' theme, there were bits of paper all over the place with drawings & scribbles on, as I tried to make various designs 'fit' into such a small area, yet still 'say' something....! LOL
Great fun though, already looking forward to the next one! :up:

[LorraineJ]

Its lovely getting the preview of all the lovely creations and choosing which to keep.

[kitten_with_claws]

My gorgeous ATCs have arrived & I love them, all so very different & very clever!
From L to R:

Firstly, from Victoria - 'Autumn Colours', AC glitter card, distress ink, Perfect Pearls, Petaloo flowers, raffia & brads!
Gorgeous hot colours & love the adorable little buckle too!

Secondly, from ??? - this lovely b/w creation has no name or details on, so please do come & tell us both who you are & how you made it!
Love the little inverted corners on this one as well!

Finally, from Papercraft by Carole - Eco green paint, crackle background!
Ooh, I need to know exactly how you made those delightful flowers Carole & I also think I might 'need' some of that paint! lol

Excellent ATC's ladies. I too am another "first timer" for ATC's. The flowers on yours KWC are just stamped with Sheena's Ivy set, then embossed (if I remember rightly), painted and cut out.

Thses are the three that arrived in my little package (hopefully the scanned image isn't too big for the screen)

On the left is 'So Transparent' from Angie - beautiful vintage lady - with a crackle glaze.
In the middle (and this may help with your identification KWC) is 'Scaredy Cats' from LorraineJ - with Halloween paper, Punchouts and Rhinestones
And on the right is Kitten with Claws Bee Happy - Bee Yourself - the black shinyness really doesn't come through on the scan.

Thanks ladies. They're great!!

Ooh, lovely, that's so pretty Angie & now I know who my striking little Scaredy Cats one came from, t'was Lorraine! :cool2:

[LorraineJ]

Yep, thought I'd filled the details out on the back. My thinking was the cats on the backing paper had scared the cats so much, they'd turned white. (Sorry but little things pleased my little mind).

[Millburn]

they are 2 smart sets :up:

It's my 1st time ATC'ing too, and yes making something small is a challenge; but I enjoyed it, and love my three in return :D

[Victoria]

These are my lovely ATCs. From left to right:
* Flower Power by HelenS. There's a lovely sheen that I can't quite capture. Rich autumnal colours.
* Fallen Leaves by Welly. What a great idea! Die cut leaves from different papers, creating texture and sparkle.
* Tree by Millburn. The info says: Kanban stamps and papers, green thread, M.S Florentine Gold glitter, gilding flakes - frosted leaves and vari green. The tree is so delicate and intricate.

Thank you ladies, and thank you Lorraine for your hard work too.

[kitten_with_claws]

They are so pretty Victoria, beautiful, colourful creations ladies - it's quite amazing how much detail you can apply to such a tiny area really, isn't it? :sun:

[Millburn]

Victoria; I couldn't quite get the lovely sheen on Helen's piece either, and it adds so much gently glistening at you :D

Welly I love your fallen leaves :D

I enjoyed making mine sooo much :D

[jenty]

What absolutely beautiful little cards. They are all so well made. i've just ordered some of the gold flakes as used by Millburn as I saw them demoed on C&C last night and can't wait to try it out.

[Millburn]

the gilding I did used the quicky glue pens, simple :) and I have a tall tower of gilding flakes, another of my addictions I think :D

[Helen S]

My 3 wonderful ATCs have arrived - will post pictures when I find the camera!!!!

cheers
Helen

[Helen S]

Helen

[Millburn]

don't they compliment each other just perfectly :D, they are lovely

[kitten_with_claws]

Really pretty, each a perfect little floral inspired picture!
I really enjoyed this swap & seeing all the wonderful ideas & miniature creations has been very inspiring! :sun:

[Princess4Wiz]

My apologies to the creators of these wee beauties. Life has bitten me on the bum just lately and I just haven't had time to play.

My first glorious card is from Angie and is entitled "Distressed Flower". The colours are gorgeous and the whole thing is just beautiful.

The second beauty is from Millburn and the tiny tree is gilded just perfectly. The leaf and lush sparkly cord just set the whole card off to a T!

Last, but by no means least is this gorgeous card from Victoria. The colours are divine and the blue sparkly centre of the flower is just scrumptious!

Thank you so much ladies, your creations are simply wonderful and I love them all. XXX

[kitten_with_claws]
