Magical Gifts

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for all the touching comments on our 3rd Collaboration painting! We really appreciate it! :D

I wanted to share my Halloween swap card I sent out to Becky of www.beckyshander.com. My swap was an ATC (Artist Trading Card), which is 2.5" X 3.5". I'm so glad she liked it. :)

I had so much fun creating this for Becky! It was completely hand stitched and created using fabric, felt, glitter, a crocheted flower, brads & acrylic paints.

Also, Thank You sweet Sanda of http://cardsanddreams.blogspot.com/ for passing the Kreativ Blogger Award! Sanda is a fabulous artist and also a member of my art journaling group. Sanda creates lovely handmade cards, collages, beautiful paintings and so much more. Please visit her site when you get a chance. Thanks again Sanda!

    What a gorgeous ATC, Lisa!! I've seen so many beautiful ATC's on my blog rounds this morning that I think I might have to start getting into that as well. I like the small format and yours certainly is a jewel!!

    Also, I LOVE the collaborative paintings you are doing with your husband!! Just wonderful!

    Hugs, Silke

    Congrats on your award Lisa and the ATC is gorgeous! I've done one fabric card, it involved more gel medium than stitching but my plan is to try a little harder next time :) Thanks for inspiring me to get busy with that!

    Thanks so much Creative *C*u*t*i*e*s*! It's such a treat to read all your touching comments! :)

    Annette & Purplecat: Yes, I paint directly onto fabric. I just sandwich the felt in between. Have fun creating!
