Hi everyone, Happy Easter! Hope you all have a wonderful day whatever you're doing.
This month's FB ATC swap for Visible Image is on the theme Something Beginning With S, so I immediately thought of spring! There are also extra brownie points for incorporating several "S's" so mine are spring, sunshine, stamping, stencilling, script, sentiment and sparkle (and I also forgot that I had included smooshing!!). I actually made a set of 3 ATC's so I would have a couple of extra ones to trade separately, and here they are.
I created a smooshed background with two colours of green Distress Oxide ink, then stamped some script stamping in green and applied some soft stencilling in grey. I stamped my daffodil images onto separate card and heat embossed, coloured with Posca sparkle pens, then fussy cut and placed on the ATC's. Before attaching them I placed and stamped my sentiment, and also stamped a little "grungy" splat on each one.Finally I edged each ATC with black pen, and matted onto black card stock.
Here is a close up of the one I traded for the VI swap.
Stamps: Visible Image Golden Daffodils, Sketched Tulips;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Hickory Smoke); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Verdant); Posca Sparkle pens (yellow, orange).

(Wordsworth’s famous poem:
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.)

I'm hoping that the weather will be sufficiently spring-like today to get outside for a nice long Easter walk ... will make me feel less guilty about tucking into an Easter egg later!
Take care, and thanks for visiting.
Hugs,

Those are gorgeous, love the way you used so may things for the S challenge! Thanks for playing along with us at the Paper Funday Challenge!
A beautiful trio of ATC's here Pauline! You've done so well including so many "s" for the Visible Image challenge! And, oh, how I love that quote by Wordsworth! In fact I've been on the hunt for the Penny Black stamp with that quote, checking eBay daily. I even emailed PB to ask if they'd consider re-releasing that stamp but sadly they did not reply :(
Hope you had a wonderful Easter with lots of sunshine.
So nice to see you joining in at Four Seasons challenge!
