This is a combined Card / ATC project.
As I am still trying to not do too much I have been using materials I had already prepared rather than starting from scratch. For instance for my last couple of posts I used die cuts and ephemera that I had already earmarked for certain things. And other things were half prepared for projects I had planned. What I have here is a revamp of a similar idea from several months ago. I had used the clarity heart stamp and loved it as it just seemed to cry out to be used for things other than just a heart; I was seeing flowers and wings and windmill sails. (sorry, vivid imagination alert!) Around the same time I was using the clarity seahorse in different sizes and I should say that seahorses are one of my most favourite things ever. So there I was playing with my old favourite seahorses and new favourite hearts (more soon!)
I have returned but decided it is all too long so suffice to say I had some of these components to hand so I assembled them to make this card and ATC (First ever ATC yay!)

ReplyDeleteHi Vee, very cute. Like the ATC. Been seeing this term thrown around but didn't know what it was so had to Google it...how embarrassing!! xx
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it, Michelle I did not know for ages and I am ashamed that I just started using the acronym without thinking about others. Another new term I just learned on the Crafty Bloggers Network is "fat page" and that is a four inch by four inch working area (one example is my moonlight and roses post). If there is anything I can help with I will try or at least find out if Idon't know I think my email is on my profile but in case not it is veecass2@gmail.com and I am on facebook - veecassidy so you can always message me that way. Take care, feel better, Vee xx
