2025 ATC Swap #30

This week's theme is: Fairy/Fairytale. I went for a combination of fairy and fairytale. This is imaginary and not based on a specific fairytale.

First a peek of the drawing.

Medium used:

recycled card stock

watercolour pencils

glitter markers

acrylic paints

fineliner ~ black

Collaboration postcard #142

I added my art to the postcard. I started this postcard, so I am the first to add a base to it. Now I am looking forward to the finished postcard and the work the swap partners added to it:)

Mediums used:

Creative artist aquarel paper 300 gms

Van bleijswijck gesso ~ white

piece of magazine

left over of Cricut cut outs

fineliner ~ black

Fill an envelope with die cuts

The swap description says we should send a minimum of fifteen (15) die cuts to two swap partners. For me a happy opportunity to play with my Cricut Expression since it is allowed.

It has been years since I've been on my Cricut Expression. And while a lot of people moved on to more recent paper cutting machines, I stuck on the Cricut Expression, which I see as the best of Cricut cutting machines.
