ATC Swop

We've had an ATC swop over on the Hero Arts Flickr group. Cindy (her blog is C&M CartArts) and I were paired and we decided on 4 challenges (2 each).

I chose :
- Use the Large Lotus Blossom stencil
- Butterflies

And Cindy chose :
- Use the Envelope Background stamp
- Flowers

Then we decided to add one more :
Make a background for the other to finish off

So here they are the 5 that I sent off to Cindy

And close-ups of each ...

Butterfly challenge

Stencil Challenge

Flower Challenge

Envelope pattern challenge

Ever so subtle as I used stamp kissing with the back of the flower stamp and the envelope pattern

A little bit of stamp kissing for the background

June CCC

It took a while for my mojo to kick in for this June CCC challenge, but it came together eventually. I went with the Plaid and sketch challenges.

I used some lovely Lili of the Valley plaid patterned paper, with the Hero Arts flower and leaves (with a touch of glossy accents on the centres) and a Papertrey Ink sentiment.
