Ongoing ATC swap gallery/discussion for 2022

For my grayscale with a pop of color theme, I received this beautiful card from @Kwality570! There is so much delicate and pretty shimmer on this card - I wish I could capture it adequately for you. Thank you, my friend, I love it!

Hey everyone, sorry I haven’t been commenting as much. A lot has been going on behind the scenes with changing swap mods and preparing for Kittykills departure. I have been oohing and ahhing though.
I am only going to go back a few cards and comment, so please don’t think I didn’t love your card if I didn’t mention it.

@Curiousfae – that bee is completely charming. That you for the brighter photo. We can really see the work you put into it better. The translucent wings, the curious expression, absolutely darling!

@Cindy – Fun card and cool that someone could actually guess the song. Fun and colorful socks. The monster card is darling.

@photojenn – the weave card is clever and well done.

@bunny1kenobi – bringing her A-Game to the cards table!! Ben Franklin is both funny and well-executed. The girl on a swing is beautiful. I love the sky, the flowers, everything. Priscilla is adorable and looks so shy. Looks like Buzz and Charles are having one heck of a great day! Those two are definitely on an adventure! You know I love that chicken, it’s my address label! It’s too funny, and I am also glad that you noticed it. I have so much fun with address labels, too much fun.

@geekybookworm – love the layering and abstract feel of the botanical card.

@bluebird – the hearts card is stunning. I love it so much! The way the sky gets lighter as it goes up, the glow of the hearts. Perfection. Beautiful bible quote too. So cleanly done. It really sets off the great lettering.

@Pioneer9 – Love the Brighter Days card. Your art is always so bold and strong. It has a finished quality and I am always impressed.

@kwality570 – The house is amazing. I love how the background is subtle and lets the focus be on the house but still adds interest to the piece. Also, love the way you outlined the heart and the house.

Just have to make it clear that @Bunny1kenobi is responsible for that card, not me.

You’re right. I was going back and forth commenting on another file. I fixed it. Thanks!

When I saw the theme of chickens getting into trouble, your address label was the first thing I thought of!

I received two fun atcs from @bluebird! She said they were Pinterest inspired!

Sorry for the slight wash out. The phone camera is weird sometimes.

Those are adorable! Are those cat toys? The green bird is a hoot!

Thanks! I’m not sure if they are cat toys. These were images pinned on her art likes board. :slight_smile: I thought they were some sort of flower thing, but they could be toys too! :blush:

I added new themes to my March list in hopes of unstalling the thread.

I plan on signing up for March, but I have to get a swap package out first. Hopefully, I can get that done by Tuesday. :shamrock:

Received several claims recently …

@Bunny1kenobi - Artist’s Choice on the left and @roler - Bright Flowers on the right

@photojenn for Artist’s Choice, she couldn’t chose so sent both

Ooooh, I love all of those! @Bunny1kenobi’s is so fun and well-rendered, @roler’s is so bright and lively, and @photojenn’s are so colorful and well-designed. I think of @photojenn’s, I like the bubble one best, but it’s a hard call.

Me, too, but don’t tell her :joy:

I actually made the bubbles one first, thought it was too simple, made the second one, panicked and sent both :joy:
