UTAH PANSIES

THIS ATC SWAP I COORDINATED WITH A TRAVELING SCRAPBBOOK GROUP CALLED HILLTOP MEMORIES IN TAMPA FLORIDA. LINDA DOES AN AWESOME JOB PUTTING CROPS AND FOOD TOGETHER FOR DAY AND WEEKEND CROPS AROUND FLORIDA. WE ALSO DO SOME SWAPS WITHIN THE GROUP LIKE 6X6 RECIPES, HOLIDAY CARDS AND NOW ATC'S. ALOT OF THE LADIES HAVE NOT VENTURED OUT INTO THE ATC WORLD AND SEVERAL OF USE WANTED TO SHARE THE FUN WE HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH ATC'S. THIS MONTHS THEME WAS FLOWERS. I SELECTED A PHOTO TAKEN IN UTAH OR THE BEAUTIFUL PANSY FEATURED ABOVE. I ABSOLUTLEY LOVED ALL THE FLOWERS THERE SO I USED ACYRLIC PAINT TO REPRESENT THIS PHOTO. LATER I WILL POST ALL OF THE SWAPS FOR EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED.

MORE LUCKY DIP SWAPS

I FORGOT TO SHOW YOU MY WATERCOLOUR THEMED ATC. I SAW A PAINTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS AT A RESTAURANT AND THOUGHT I WOULD DO MY OWN VERSION. I COVERED MY ATC WITH 1 LAYER OF GAUZE FOR A NEAT TEXTURE AND PAINTED IN THE TREE AND ROOTS

LUCKY DIP SWAP

THIS IS A LUCKY DIP SWAP I PARTICIPATE IN. IN THIS SWAP THE MODERATOR LIST SEVERAL TITLES AND YOU SELECT THE TITLES YOU WOULD LIKE TO REPRESENT IN YOUR OWN WAY. MY SELECTIONS WERE

3 WISHES; IN WHICH I REPRESENTED IN THE FORM OF A LOTTERY TICKET, FAME AND HAPPINESS

PEACE CHARITY & HOPE; WHICH I DID IN WATERCOLOR MINI PAINTING FOR EACH OF THE SYMBOLS

SCRAP; I SIMPLE USED SOME SCRAP BUTTERFLY PAPER TO MAKE A FRAME AND STAMP ASIAN FLOWERS AND EMBOSSED THEM

EYE CANDY; FOR ME EYE CANDY MEANS MATHEW MCCONAUGHEY SO I BLINGED UP A HOT PHOTO OF HIM SURFING

THINGS THAT FLY; I CUT OUT MANY BUTTERFLIES FROM MY SCRAPBOOK PAPER AND MADE A COLLAGE OF BUTTERFLIES
