I seem to have gone off ATCs…. although I enjoyed playing with more Paperartsy images and three from the Artistic Outpost plate I haven’t yet used.   BUT I decided to try some Wings ATCs for a swap over on Paperplay and here they are, despite the fact that I’m not a bit happy with them. and at this point in time, want to do another couple.  I’m in a bright and pastel mood, I think and because I’m still using old backgrounds (with loads more to go yet – uggh!) they seem so dark, although I did try to lighten the angel one a bit.  Might try a bit of bleach next time :-)

Oh wow Cath, great set, especially love the bottom one, have no idea why you're not happy with them xxx

I'm sure they will be even better IRL, they always are.

My fave is '26' (for want of a better name for the middle one lol)- love that image. I haven't made an ATC in ages...maybe I need to do some to help me get back in the swing of things.

Don't know why you're so down on them, they look fab to me.

LOVE them, and if you want to get rid of the darker backgrounds, I'll be happy to send you my mailing address with a smile! LOL

... maybe you could also try this - if the background is too dark, just paint some watered down white acrylic paint over it, or watered down gesso...

Love them, Cath! My problem is seeing the text in your post...are my eyes that old, or is the font really small?
