You may have noticed the link to ArtJoyStuff's latest swap on my sidebar, the Fabric of Nature ATC swap. Goes without saying that I couldn't resist that one, even though it is a 12, yep, TWELVE for TWELVE ATC swap. And not just any ATC, sigh, FABRIC ATCS! Not a scrap of paper allowed. Just fabric, and lace, and embellies.
This really needed careful planning, especially as we are about to head off to France again in a couple of days. I didn't think I would have time to do them all before we leave, so I had to make sure that I had everything I needed for them ready to take to France. Preparation, girls! Thats a new concept for me, lol.
I had some images in my mind for the ATCs, but when my lovely friend Alexandra emailed me the most beautiful images of birds, I just had to use some of those. They kind of dictated the rest of things to use as well.
Here are my supplies -
I loved sorted all the embellies into vintage baking tins and French wine tasting cups, gosh, I am so organised today!
And here is the first one completed -
As I said, one down, eleven to go........

Yes you are totally organized and if I had everything out and displayed like that I wouldn't be able to stop creating. Your ATC is heavenly and adorned so beautifully.
Wherever do you find those little bird charms!
Happy travelling to France Liz and stay safe and hope you find everything in order when you arrive.
