It's a perfect day.....

...to watch tennis on TV and do some stamping! I promised, Dawn, my friend in New Zealand that I'd do an ATC swap with her and the one she made has already arrived here in the OC. So it was high time to find some creativity and get an ATC off to her. Since the Challenge theme this month at the Hero Arts blog is ATCs, Fabulous Flowers and using colored pencils I mashed them all and came up with this little number....


I stamped and black embossed the Flower Text on kraft cs and white cs. I trimmed the kraft cs around one of the flowers to approx. 2x3 inches. I matted this with a corner section from a Spellbinders Lace Edge Square die cut and then a 2.5x3.5 white cs base. I colored the white image with various brands of pencils from my pencil stash. I was going for bright and I think I got there. The flower and leaves were then cut out and pieced onto the kraft image. A bit of Tropical Tangerine Stickles is the finishing touch.

A glimpse of heaven....
Revelation 21:4
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, 
and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.
All these things are gone forever."
blessings,

    Wow, Nancy! What an amazing ATC! I love how bright you've colored the flower and the lace edge corner is brilliant! It's so nice to see a post from you! I know how busy you are, working more now, and I hope it's going well but I have been missing you! Sending big hugs!

    very cool. So I played a bit with my new background stamp. Trying to decide if I like lots of colors to show the shapes, or a single color. Lots of ways to use it for sure. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f206/angelbev/photo-1.jpg

    Totally love your ATC Nancy! I've never made one before - I'm not too sure who to trade with. Maybe I should just keep them for myself ;)
    But yours is a real beauty. I love the bright colouring, set off against the black scallops.
    Hugs, Ruth S
