ATC Swap cards

Happy Tuesday!  I recently participated in an ATC swap over in The Cat's Pajamas forum on Splitcoaststampers.  I am anxiously awaiting the return of the swap - the other participants are all rockstar stampers and I know these will be fabulous - but I thought I'd share my ATC here today.  It just so happens that the colors I use also perfectly fit with last week's TCP Tuesday (127) challenge - love that! :)

I used A Whale of a Time for my ATC and a quick simple layout but lots of cutting!  I used one of my favorite Cut-Ups from TCP for the waves and the Button Flower and Button are also from The Cat's Pajamas, as is the Divine Twine and the felt . . . aaaah I just love TCP! :)

How about that purple whale?  He seemed kinda funky and fun to me - with his black rhinestone eye and polka dots which were added with a Copic colorless blender.  The hat was stamped on some twill ribbon that I first stiffened with Strano Ribbon Stiffener - cool stuff!

That's me for today, I'm soooooo hoping to have time for this week's challenge - check out all the details on Alma's blog!  Have a great day my friends!
