A Day of ATCs? - Day 113

On Day 85 of A year of ATCs? I made a set of ATCs to swap and the theme was
 "Ripped and Torn"



I have received the swaps...and here's the resulting pocket letter:



I have just made the next set to swap which stand as Day 113 of A Year of ATCs!




 Basically 9 ATCs comprising a rectangle of orange card matted with a background I made using bubble wrap and distress ink. I used spiced marmalade to add distress to the edges.
I then added the bird coloured with Zig real brush pens and cut out.
Finally I added bows and buttons in slightly different colourways.


The bird image is Whimsical Lily from Lost Coast Designs which I won as a prize some while ago in the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.


I will link this ATC to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Challenge #35 - this bubble wrap background is a favourite of mine!


Happy Crafting!

    Fantastic Bird ATCs. That bubble wrap backing is cool. I tried it but mine was a bit of a mess. I think I put too much ink !!! :-(

    Love the birds.
    I've used the bubble wrap but need to
    get it out and use it again. Makes
    a fun background.
    thanks for sharing.
