February 24 ATC swap Theme: Brights

February ATC Swop 2024 Theme: Brights For this months ATC swop the theme is brights.  Very apt as the weather in Cullercoats is very grey and dull - so anything to cheer things up is great. I had some blue and orange card in my stash that I had previously coloured with brushios.  I cut 3 backgrounds 3.5" x 2.5".  I distressed the edges and highlighted them with distress ink.  I then cut 3 pieces slightly smaller and used dies to cut into the top corners to give a trellis effect.   I then used some stencils and an Aall and Create stamp to decorate the bottom of the ATC. I also distressed and went around the edges of the top panel with distress ink. To add a bit more interest I did some splattering with white paint.  I then stamped some butterflies onto matching card and cut them out. I glued the butterflies on the ATC along with some sentiments and splattered the butterflies as well.  Made a matching card using the same techniques.
