BLUEBIRDS FROM BRISBANE

 

As promised I am posting the photos of the ATCs I have received from Monika in Brisbane for my Bluebird swap. http://storiesofpearlsandplunder.blogspot.com/

Monika’s work is always wonderful and these as  you can see are perfect. When you lift the wing you have the Chinese character for Happiness.

As it has been raining here for almost 24hrs. I was able to catch up on some swaps.

I created these for the swap   UNUSUAL SHAPED ATCs hosted by Helen over at

I am not sure this is quite what Helen wanted but they were fun to make and I have kept within the size guidelines for normal ATCs as requested.

I used my Sizzix Big Shot Pro to cut the shape and them stamped and inked to finish.
