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
