My First ATC's Are Now Done ...

Hello my dear friends,

at last my artist's trading cards (ATCs) are finally done for Kim`s swap at ArtJoyStuff.

It was a little challenge at first but in the end they came together just the way I wanted them too.
I used a vintage Christmas card image with tiny pieces of lace, lots of glitter fine and coarse, cut out snowflakes and Swarovski crystals. In my eyes they are all about a vintage white Christmas time. And because I love thing with stories, I made a little story about them ...

                                                                             ❄
"It was the night of Christmas Eve. A small town was all tucked in under a blanket of white glistening snow. Everyone was sleeping and it was so peaceful, just the moon was still awake and shimmering down onto the roofs from the distance of the dark winter's sky. A few snowflakes are falling from the Heavens and dancing in the light of the moon shine, making them look like twinkling diamonds as they slowly descend to the earth and all you could hear in the distance was a very faint voice saying ...
"And to All a Good Night ...!"

And here are my very first ATCs. I called them ...

"And to All a Good Night"








All wrapped up nicely with a bow ...


... and a little star made from twigs ...


... they are now on their way to Kim.

My wish is that they will put a smile on the faces of the one's that will receive one of them, so fingers crossed. You see, I think that one of the nicest things you can do for some one, is to put a tiny smile in their heart. Just doing that make my heart happy.

Thank you for taking the time to visit me here today at Todolwen. I hope you have enjoyed your little stay and my newest creations.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.
