My first ATC trade

I recently started this blog thing about a month ago after finishing one of Andy Skinners on line work shops, Time worn techniques, there is a link in my sidebar. One of the friends that has been made on this course and has been very encouraging is Elly her blog is http://ellypirally.blogspot.co.uk/. With the up and coming atc swap on woyww Elly asked if I fancied a bit of practice and wanted to do a trade, I jumped at the chance. She set the challenge of 3 atc's, one shabby/vintage, one steam punk and one free choice.

Here are the three that I made, I really love playing with the atc, they are such a good way to try things out with out to much waste.

 Here are the 3 Elly made, they total blow me away, 

I love them, and they have taught me a lot as well. As well as these 3 amazing cards was a little stash of booty, some nice laser cut pieces, some little bingo papers in a pad, a little envelope for the hand stitched card, all presented in a nicely stamped little bag, The funny thing is Elly used the same da vinci image I have used on one of my atc's with out either of us knowing. for some reason this pic would not face the right way :-(
