Chicken ATC's

 The topic for the March ATC swap at Wishful Thinking in Nashville, Indiana is "Chickens."  I found a chicken image I liked from Dear End.  Then I ordered PET stickers from Amazon for the background.  I didn't think it through when I ordered those stickers or maybe I thought it through too much.  I was thinking I could layer the stickers and make a really detailed background, but they didn't layer well and they were super shiny and left very pronounced edges.  So, I didn't layer them and I dabbed (to make a texture that I hoped would help conceal the edges while muting the shine) clear gesso on the background.  This is how they turned out; still with issues, but not as bad as at first:

Snow Days ATC's

 The January theme for the ATC swap at Wishful Thinking in Nashville, Indiana is "Snow Days" --  appropriately, considering the weather.  Again, I didn't get good pictures.  And I didn't have much energy to be creative -- some people say that a ticket or a stamp in the background is not creative at all, but I like it.  I like it a lot.  So that is what these Maremi SmallArt images have for a background.  The backgrounds are Ranger inks, Sizzix dies, and Stampers Anonymous Stamps all from the Tim Holtz lines.

Fingers crossed they like them!

Wreath ATC

 Here is my ATC for the swap at Wishful Thinking in Nashville, Indiana.  The theme was wreaths.  The picture isn't very good, so you can't see that the balls and berries have Glossy Accents on them.  The image itself is embossed and then colored with gel pens.  The snow is dimensional with a little glitter. The sentiment along the bottom was not the same on all 6 cards.

I hope the recipients like them!
