Yellow Rolodex Swap

The Byhand Artists Group is having another of our Rolodex swaps and again Beth is our wonderful hostess. The theme this time is yellow and quotes. Well I came across these lovely lemon paper napkins right around the same time the swap was announced, so I just had to use them.



But wait, there's more. The forsythia was most co-operative and came into beautiful bloom, so I am sending these as well. The photo is cropped to fit and printed on watercolour paper. The quote on the front is printed on clear ink jet label and layered over torn vellum. The tag is torn watercolour paper, hand dyed mesh fabric and torn ink jet vellum stitched together. The ribbon on most is torn cotton fabric hand dyed in Making Memories craft acrylic Fresh Anthology Daffodil paint diluted in water. A few have lace edging for the ribbon. I hope all the swappers enjoy adding these to their Rolodex collection.

Paper napkin applique. The beads on the top right corner are applied with a mixture of Diamond Glaze and basil green gel paint. The whole card including the beads is then covered with a coat of triple thick gloss glaze.

Here's a few more tea themed ATCs I got ready in time for Sunday's swap at the Grind. All the mini tags are from the Quickutz Squeeze die cutting machine. We had a great, lively swap with 2 new swappers in attendance.

July ATC Dragonfly in Black and White

Here are some more ATCs I made today. These ones are paper napkin applique backgrounds with dragonfly rubber stamped on white cardstock and cut out. The words are cut from a stamping of the "Love where you're at" rubber stamp from Quietfire Design There is a small white or black rhinestone on each for a little bling.
