This is my ATC for today's challenge - Spring. Not sure the berries say Spring but I always think Spring with the darling Flower Fairies by C.M. Barker, a favorite artist!. You can see all the wonderful submissions at: http://tmta.wordpress.com/
This is my submission for this week's Gothic Arch Challenge. These are my Maternal Great Great Grandparents Sven and Beatte Lundberg. They immigrated from Sweden in the 1860s...The children clockwise from bottom: Great Aunt Grace, Great Uncle Clarence and Great Uncle Jim. The picture was taken approximately 1919.
This is my ATC for the Tim Holtz Grunge ATC swap on SCS this month....I used Grunge Board, Blue Jean distressing ink, glitter, decopage' medium, embossing tool and powders, punches, stickles and fluid chalks to give this card a distressed "grunge" look...
