Bandanna Atc's

Ang is hosting an atc swap over on Lots to do & we have to use the bandanna technique.
I seem to really struggle getting the colours crisp on these, but I hope they are OK!

My girls.

Going through a black & white photo stage at the mo!

Element atc swap

Andrea over on lots to do is hosting an atc swap in which you make 3 atc's, but the you have to take an element out of the first one to use on the 2nd, & again, an element from the 2nd for the 3rd!

It sounded easy enough, till I came to do it!

So, 1st atc is simply, the 2nd, I have taken the background flowers for this & the 3rd, I took the daisy chain from that.

I hope I have done it ok!

Gesso

Hope I'm not late for this weeks challenge over on the lots to do challenge blog!

The theme this week is to use GESSO in your work.

I made an atc, with various images stamped onto it, then glossy & crackle accents to finish it off.

Tag & bookmark swap

These are for a swap I am hosting on on LTD.

The theme is to use something new you have bought for your craft stash (even though we are in a credit crunch, I am sure we all find a few £'s to spend!!!)

My new stash is cuttlebug embossing folders, acrylic dabbers, & CI stamps.

March recipe swap

These are for another swap over on lots to do.

This months recipe is

Animal image
Ribbon
3 gems
Colour purple.

Canvas swap

Andrea on Lots to do forum, is hosting a canvas swap.

There is no theme this time.

I used the egg shell technique from the fab technique blog, link should be on here somewhere.

I used gold acrylic dabber paint, then sparkle mod podge to give it a bit of sparkle.

The inside is covered with gesso, and I added some fine crushed up egg shells, to give it a bit of texture, then I let that dry. The image was stamped onto tissue paper, cut very close. I then used mod podge again & placed the image inside, then another coat of glue.

I hope my swap partner likes it!
