Hi there! Time to present you with the last project for this year 2023, which is two twin cards made on request. One, of course, went straight to its new home and the other one is for sale and you can find it in my shop on Etsy - here . The background is paper from the 'Breeze of Dreams' collection from Margaret Paper Design. The edges, of course, are sewn on the machine. The main attraction is the girl under the umbrella. it is rare for me to stamp and then colour the stamps. I always have the feeling that I'm not very good at it and somehow I avoid it. But it's also good to expand one's boundaries from time to time, right?

The edges are sewn on the machine with my favourite stitch. The cards have hangers at the top with a delicate white ribbon. The main feature is, of course, the couples in love cut from the 'Romantic Moments' collection extras from Margaret Mycraftime. I've placed them on beautifully decorate...

Hej! Dzisiaj zostawiam Wam wpis na temat ATC, czyli Artist Trading Card. Szybkie przypomnienie, co to w ogóle jest: to dość mała forma rękodzieła, którą ja osobiście nazywam osobistą wizytówką artysty. Idąc tym tropem, staram się zawsze aby wykonane przeze mnie ATC odzwierciedlały mój styl, moje charakterystyczne upodobania artystyczne i myślę, że udało mi się tu uchwycić 90% tych cech. Brakuje tylko obszycia na maszynie.  Jak co miesiąc zachęcam co wzięcia udziału w wyzwaniu na blogu Dusty Attic .  Jedyne , co musicie zrobić, to dodać swoją pracę do sekcji komentarzy na grupie  Dusty FANattics  na Facebooku, aby mieć szansę na wygranie jednej z dwóch niesamowitych nagród w wysokości $50 (AUD) na zakupy w sklepie.
