I have recently been away from home for just over a week in a warmer climate only to step out of the plane into a cold, bleak, rainy day, and, after finally catching up with what I was behind with...(the story of my life!!!...vbg), I finally found time to create this little fella.
It will probably be my month's (August) technique on our http://2cre8art.blogspot.com so I will refrain from giving the details here until I decide on that.
Cawments invited and appreciatively received...vbg
Oh...in case you think my house must have been soooo messy that it took the 20 days between posting to clean it up, I thought I'd better let you know that I have made a series of ATCs for our group swap themed
"NUMBERS".
Unless you have a silly imagination like mine, he probably won't make sense standing alone as my dear friend Bevlea Ross and I got our heads together and decided to each make a "side-by-side" complementing pair...only saying I was to make the male one and she the female...which I have yet to see, but she tells me we both used the same Cuttlebug Embossing card and both chose rust coloured background papers. Mine is actually some of the rusted paper I made myself, then rubbed over with Ranger's Spiced Marigold Distress Ink. I used a scrap of my self-printed harlequin paper and a rusted cog over his eye.
I shall add Bevlea's ATC pic here when I receive it so he should make sense then..vbg.
HERE is BEVLEA'S "Numbers" ATC...does it make sense now?...vbg
And, a friend of mine loves Sea Horses and the colour purple, so I made this Mermaid ATC into a little wall hanger for her birthday gift. Needless to say she was thrilled!

Great work, Barb! I'll look forward to learning how you did your crow card... and can't wait to see how Bevlea's card partners up with yours =)
Thanx Bex....vbg
very nice vbg...still cant believe we chose the same cuttlebug folder and same colours.. 500kms apart! LOL
LOL re the color and the pics 500 kms away from each other. It looks great Barb and Hahaha.......Ive seen the other half and its also great.
Lucky friend who got the wall hanging.............
Well they say that great minds think alike, so I guess you and Bevlea are kindred spirits! Very interesting composition. Also waiting to see how the crow was made as I really like it.

You my dear have a special gift when it comes to birds! As I type I am looking at the wonderful crow atc and sparrow(?)atc of yours that are up on my wall and soooo glad to be able to call them my own!!
I just found your blog. You're work is lovely and inspiring. Your tutorials are excellent too! Thank you for sharing your talent! xoSusan
What a fantastic numbers piece, wish I'd played. Will have to consider joining the Bees swap ... if I get myself organised!!
Thanx ladies... your cawments are much appreciated.
Barb, I love all the numbers cards!! I'm so into numbers - don't ask me why cos I really don't know - just love them though haha
Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog about the spin splash cards. My H made my machine for me, we run workshops in my store - they are so much fun! The old kids plastic one's just don't seem to work as well - and they are really hard to find - good luck in your search :)

Lorri...I wish i had a clever hubby like yours... but I guess he has his good points anyway...vbg
still catching up and well they are brilliant together. Well done to the pair of you. ROFLOL
