Wow, I have now posted two weeks in a row I'm on a roll LOL.Today is another opportunity to check out the fabulous desk of fellow crafters thanks to the queen of hosts Julia at The Stamping Ground. I'm working today so have scheduled this and will be back later to catch up with everyone. My desk last night was a mass of die cuts. I bought the new Tonic ATC's dies and a few other dies and stamps recently and was having a play with my stash of scraps the last few days, I went a bit OTT but had some fun.
die cut galore
In the background and below is one of 3 different ATC I am working on; not for any particular reason other than I liked the bright colours tropical colours. For this one I used several bits and pieces including a Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch some butterfly printables cut out that were free from a site called The Lilac Garden ....they are stunning colours. I coloured the backgrounds using Crafters Companion aqua markers then sprayed with a Calico Mr Heuy shine for some glimmer and edged with some distress ink, I think I used Dried Marigold and Abandoned Coral
Brightly coloured ATC

Thank you so much for stopping to have a look and a very happy WOYWWW. Crafty hugs Andrea X

Love love love all your die cutting, totally my kind of play time, love dies and yours are super. Also love the exotic colours on the ATCs what a fun desk to come visit. Thanks for visiting me, I had a great time with my friend on Wednesday but Thursday was taken over by all the trouble I was having with my new varifocals, going to have my prescription checked later today, what a palava.

ReplyDeletefantastic looking ATC, love the butterfly, have a nice weekend, vicky #5
ReplyDeleteawesome looking desk! I love new dies and stamps...too much sometimes. I used to belong to a group where weekly we would post what die or punch cut out we were willing to swap and would swap with other posters. It was fun to see what would show up! Like your brightly colored ATC. Thanks for stopping by my desk and leaving a comment earlier! Sorry I am so late getting around this week but hey I am here! Have a great remainder of the week.
