August ATC swap

Here are my ATCs for the August swap that ManLe from Pineapple Cove is hosting. The theme this month is butterflies. If you're interested in joining this monthly swap, click here for more info.

I made my butterflies out of paper hydrangea flowers. Saw a video on YT and had to try it. Trying different techniques that are definitely not in my comfort zone. I used Kraft cardstock and sponged the edges with TH distress ink. I wanna try more shabby chic style projects and that's waaaaay out of my zone. If I don't post any SC projects, you'll know they turned out UGLY. Hahaha! Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping by! Until next time, take care.
