The Stamp Man First ATC Swap

Well it isn't actually the first one but the first one for a few years - I used to do these years ago & have got several folders of these gorgeous little works of art.  In fact there is a link on the Stamp Man blog for inspiration & some of my ATC's are on there from 2006!  I haven't really got much spare time at the moment but really wanted to have a go again.  That said my ATC's didn't turn out anything like I imagined, I wanted them to be much more "arty" lol I should say that the first theme is "Wings". 

 I always use a cheap pack of playing cards for my base & for these I used a K&Co paper pad that I have had for ages (that might be where I went wrong - I've prob not used it cos it not my fav lol).  The stamped butterfly is from Anna Griffin (I do love that stamp though).  I did some machine stitching & various other stamping with a 3 tone Brilliance ink pad (Peacock), they all have punched borders, gems & lots of sparkle.  (Sorry for the rubbish photos, it was windy in the garden & I really struggled to get a decent photo).

I'm entering these ATC's for these challenges:

Create4Fun - Anything but a Card

Creative Inspirations - On the Move

Incy Wincy - Punches
Gingersnap Creations - Shades of Blue

Hope you're all having a great weekend.  We had a lovely long walk by the river in the glorious sunshine yesterday & today we biked to the local car boot (& spent 74p lol).
