First ATC swap - eek!

I have joined a Facebook group - Artist Trading Cards (ATC) Share and Swap and found my first trade partner!

We decided on a blind swap, and since she's in the US we opted for a 4 card trade to make the postage costs worthwhile. I just hope she's not disappointed with my first attempt at ATCs for about 10 years 😆

Here's what she'll be getting in the mail:

Bee Happy

1/2 who knew hexagons were so hard to draw freehand? Fortunately I made a stencil that could be reused - phew!

2/2 some doodling & re-purposed buttons completed these happy little cards

Lots of paper scraps were rescued for this project, and my old Glimmermist came out to play. I couldn't get the pump to work since it's been sitting neglected for too many years, so splatters were called for and did the job splendidly.

Cathedral Window Quilt

1/2 machine stitching is my go-to since I can't paint or draw, so perfect for this little project

2/2 raided the sewing box for pins, a timber button & safety pin cute for accents

I have had this technique Pinned for a million years and wanted to try it since first seeing Leanne Pearce use it here. Is it fiddly? YES but it's not difficult. Go ahead & give it a go, all it takes is to cut out some circles, fold the edges and voila!

Happy with my little cuties off I go to Australia Post to send them halfway around the world.

Thanks for looking xx
