ATC swap - March - Travel

Hello there! How are you? Thanks for your words of encouragement about the triathalon - I have decided I am going to give it a whirl - at least I will have a baseline to compare to for the september event!!! I'll let you know how it goes!

Today I would like to share with you my ATCs I made for the March swap that the lovely jo organises. The theme this time was Travel and I enjoyed using a classic TH stamp as the main focus of my atcs.


Here is the set - I used distress inks to create the background - blending ripe persimmon, mustard seed and spiced marmalade. I also used a stencil to add the circles with fired brick distress ink.


The compass stamp and voyage stamp were stamped in black archival.


And these were my beautiful swaps that arrived yesterday - thanks ladies and thanks Jo for organising.

Have a wonderful day - we're all off to the gym later. I've got my weight training - I deadlifted 62.5 kg last time - who knows what we will be doing this time! After that we're all swimming - I am swimming in my tri suit for the first time - I hope its not too uncomfortable!!! Enjoy whatever you're doing!

Big hugs!

  2. Weightlifting and then swimming (which I am sure is not in a warm pool) Rachel, grief wears me out just thinking about it, but good for you, I admire your perseverance.

    Very keen on today's shares, the graduated oranges really appeals.
