My First ATC

Thursday, 19 May 2011

I never really 'got' ATC’s for a long time, I couldn’t really see what the point was. But during our Easter swap on the MAC forum I received an ATC which matched the card it accompanied. It was then that I thought what a great idea they are – I’m going to get a photo album to keep ATC’s in and when I look through the album and see each ATC I’ll remember the beautiful card that it came with which by then will probably be tucked safely away in a box!

So I thought I’d make an ATC to return – that being the whole idea of “swapping” ATC’s! But, as I had already sent off my card, I didn’t make it to match the card. Another reason for making it different to the card is because I found this gorgeous Easter image from Sketching Stamper called Easter Egg Fairy.

I coloured her with copics and added a few pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts. A ruffled ribbon around the edge and it’s done! Simples!

Thanks for looking!

Love it Sheena. Like you I didn't really 'get them' that's a good idea keeping them in an album- might have to pinch your idea- I haven't made any myself yet though. Anne
