Anything Atc

My partner likes sport bikes and fleur de lis, it was a challenge to think of a theme. Plus, she is an art major and has sent me a beautifully made atc in a previous swap. She does like french stuff so I came up with a monet theme and a fleur de lis theme.

Butterfly Card

I have a die punch to create punched out cat images on a piece of paper- I harvested all the little punches and glued them on the cat outline to create this:

monster angel

I was reading the swap bot forum and came across someone who had been flaked on in the Monster under the Bed swap. I decided to try my hand at monster manufacturing and sent her a larger monster and her 3 boys mini monsters.
