Hello dear art friends!
Hope you're having a great week. Feeling creative?
How about making some blue Artist Trading Cards for our new art swap? I recently made some with our new blue ARTchix goodies. First, I tore images from our new Blue Mix and Brilliant Blue Backgrounds collage sheets and adhered them to our Eco ATCs (found in most of our product packaging - why not recycle them into art?).
...
Next, I started adding embellishments like our Roulette Wheels, Hot Air Balloons and Stars.
...
To finish, I glued everything into place and added touches of glitter and whatnot. Fun, fun! Want to play too? Swap Details are on our website.
The wonderful Nikki Smith in Oregon, USA, will be our guest swap hostess for this fun swap. She recently hosted a Valentine swap that I participated in and she was such an incredible swap hostess that I asked her to host this one for us. : )
Deadline is April 10, 2013.
...
Bruno wanted to make sure I shared this pretty blue ATC by Jackie McColl. Love the elephant. : )
...
And how 'bout a digi freebie for our new art swap? I recently found this cool old sheet music with the title "Blue Evening Blues." Thought it was perfect! So, I've reduced it down to ATC size for you...it will make awesome backgrounds.
Note: this special sheet is for personal use only. Not for resale.
Hope you have a wonderful week! See you next week with more fun and creativity. : )
I signed up with Nikki this morning. I am eagerly awaiting my Blue items that I ordered so I can get right to these ATCs. This is so much fun! Thanks for thinking of this as a swap, Helga.

Helge, this time of year I'm crazy for balmy weather . So I think the painted pink and green boards would be great in a garden theme..... Organic shapes like flowers, trees, leaves and plants. Perhaps a butterfly?
