ATC swap - Alice in Wonderland

Hello lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are well. I'm okay and glad to report I got to see my mum and dad today and they have their power back - my dad is okay too which is great news. And we have our water back on - another positive! Its at times like this we all have to count our blessings and be grateful for what we have.

Today I would like to share with the the ATCs that I made for this months swap - the theme was Alice in wonderland.



I really enjoyed making these - I love my set of Alice in wonderland stamps and very rarely remember to use them! They're from a set by Oxford Impressions. The background was created using a stencil and distress inks - I think I used spiced marmalade and peeled paint but my memory may be wrong!!!

I hope you have a great Tuesday - its the girls Carol concert down at the church in the village tonight - I'm really looking forward to that. 

Big hugs

Rachel x

    I love your colorful Alice ATC design, Rachel! And I'm so happy to hear that your Dad is okay and you all haven't been washed off your moorings! You made the news over here, but that's not the kind of news one wants to be known for!! Be safe! Hugs, Darnell
