The December theme for my ATC swap group was "Peace."
Usually I make identical cards for everyone in the group, but this time decided to make each one a little different. I painted the background with acrylic paint and used materials such as rick rack, washers, paper doilies, adhesive gems, and scraps of paper.
The images are from handmade gift tags I bought last year to benefit a children's hospital. The "peace on earth" is cut out from holiday greeting cards.
It's hard to see, but the background on this one is a piece of a dryer sheet. You can see the painted blue background right through it, but it gives the ATC a little bit more texture.
This ATC is for a "Holiday" themed swap. It has a metal Made with Love charm glued to the front.
Last night I attended a Holiday High Tea with some friends at
Lisa's Tea Treasures
and had the most scrumptious food.
Sparkling cider, tiny sandwiches, savories, fresh salad, Christmas tea, and scones. Everything was presented beautifully, and the tea room was so cozy lit with candles.
A big thank you to Rachel at
One Pretty Thing
for featuring my knit fingerless gloves pattern, and another thank you to Katharine at
Woolly Wotnots
for posting a link to my slipper pattern.
