The swaps received from my crafty friends.

Good Morning Crafters

 

A quick post as always to show the lovely swaps I received from my crafty friends from the Crazicards Swap Group.

 

The themes this month you might remember were, anything goes, wild winter & metallic new year.  I opted out of the wild winter tags as I really just could not get my head around it and a shortage of time meant that I really didn't have time to play. 

 

The girls did an amazing job of the tags that were submitted though, lovely stamped animals, loads of snow, really wild winter roads scenes with people leaving their cars etc, they were awesome.

 

So here are the ATC's which I think are just fantastic -

The Metallic New Year themed postcards were all really beautiful and some very amazing techniques were used, some that I may even have to steal.......I mean use in future projects, we do love to share after all -

It always amazes me how we can interpret the themes in such different ways.  Always with outstanding pieces of artwork being created, and the ones I receive I am so very proud to own.

 

Challenge yourself crafters and see what you can come up with.

 

Happy Crafting,

Postcards - Metallic New Year

Hello Friends

Its that time of the week again "hump day" all downhill till the weekend, yay!!! Hope you all have lovely plans, maybe some crafting on the go?

Well the groups Postcard theme this month is "Metallic New Year". I found this pretty easy, didn't take much thinking but in hindsight probably should have thought about it some more and been a tad more creative. I have since purchased some lovely new metallic pencils & chalks, should this "metallic" theme ever pop up again, and I am sure it will.

These are my two entries, again, both very similar, total cop out but that's OK, next months will be better.

"New Year, New You", sequins, stars & Mirri Card

"New Year, New You", sequins, stars & Mirri Card, a bit less shiny though and the top half is wrapped in metallic silver ribbon just to add another texture.

Another day another Dollar so they say :)

Happy Crafting my lovelies,

Amanda xx
