ATC Swap - "Flower Power"


Today I posted off my 5 ATCs for the "Flower Power" themed swap over at the CRAFT, CHAT, SHARE & CARE group over on Facebook.

Inspired by fellow crafter Erin Stewart, I've been trying to do more interactive ATCs and slotted 2 into this 5.

So, here they all are!:
 
 
ONE:  I kept this simple, with a striking white on white theme.  This I also entered into a "White on White" competition in the same group.
 
TWO:  Embossing folders, die cuts, white card and kraft card were all that was used here but I feel the effect is just right!
 
THREE:  Lovely purple glitter card (my favorite colour) was used here along with papers from my stash.  The flower's "stem" is a cut-into tattered lace flourish.
 
FOUR: Another one used for the "White on White" competition in this craft group! This ATC is a super tiny Pop-Up Box Card, ATC sized when flat!  I thought it added a little something interactive to dip my toe in!
 
FIVE: and finally, I had these chinese dragon papers that I have being dying to make use of so I sought out a flower themed Chinese Proverb, writing this in gold pen on the tag which is hidden inside the pocket!  I was initially going to use silver with the red and black and am glad I went with the gold instead!
 
So that is all, I don't know what my next ATC swap is yet, but have plenty of other swaps and not forgetting Make It Sew orders to be getting on with in the meantime!
