ATC Swap and Blog Hop!

Hi crafty friends! Happy Monday! Today is a fabulous day! Firstly, because today is a day the Lord has made! :) Secondly, because Incy Wincy has an extra special challenge for you this week!

Create an ATC

We have planned our very first ATC SWAP with a BLOG HOP! 

Here is how it works! If you play in our ATC challenge this week you have the option to swap your ATC with another person entering the challenge! If you would like to swap put an asterisk (*) after your name. You will send your ATC to the person below you who has an * after their name. The first person that wants to swap will receive their ATC from the last person that wants to swap. So send your ATC to the person below you and receive an ATC from the person above you. :) Make sure you have a way of communication on your blog so swappers can email you and get your address. Please send your ATC's out as soon as you can to make this fun for everyone!! :)

So onto my card.....well, have you ever had one of those days where you had a certain idea for your card in mind and then it just didn't happen. I started with a gatefold card and wanted it to open to a beautiful scene of this princess entering her ball. Well, it just didn't work the way I had hoped. So I chose to keep it simple. :) I used a chandelier from Justinklined. I colored the images with my copics and added some flowers from I Am Roses. I used some feathers from my stash and ribbon from 3GirlJam. Thanks for stopping by!

Here is my card using Princess Zella. She is absolutely gorgeous! I just had to color her! I used the Paint program to make the painted words, then copied and pasted them beside Zella. Then I was able to print it all out on one sheet! I hope you will give this a try and join us at Incy Wincy this week! :)
