September "Leaves" Blissfull ATC Swap and a Blissfull Challenge Vote

Hello My Dear Friends,


I posted the Beautiful ATC that
Carol Anne made for me and today
she has posted the one I made
for her...so now I will show
all of you the one I made for
Carol Anne.

I tried an experiment with
some skeleton leaves I
had and wool roving.
The leaves are pretty
fragile but I thought if
I "carefully" felted some
wool roving into them
that they might stand up
to the needle punching,
and they did! I also
added some Angelina
fibers to the wool,
each one with
a coordinating sparkle
of color to each leaf.

I used a gold leaf pen
to highlight around the
edges of the leaves as
well as the edges of
the card!
Added some beads
and viola!!! 

Please go visit
The Blissfull ATC site that you will find on my sidebar.
We are having an "ATC Holder Challenge".
We are all making one of a kind holders
for our wonderful ATC's,  the one with
the most votes wins the Challenge!!
If you like my ATC Holder please
put in a vote for mine!!! Thank you!!!

Love to all and Enjoy your Day!!!

Susan

    Never would I have had the nerve to use a real leaf, let alone a skeleton leaf. This is beautiful.

Hello Dear Friends.... So I'm here again!...I may just start blogging once more!! I wanted to share with you a simple little collage I made this week. I used a vintage book cover as my base. I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"! Springtime to me is a magical time of year, as nature once again brings forth beautiful flowers, and lush landscapes so pleasing to our soul. A
