Anyone for a cuppa?

Today’s creation was definitely a break from the norm and a little bit of an experiment and took several cups to muse over.

Spring will be on it’s way (hopefully) sometime soon so I thought that I would do a nice floral design for today’s ATC challenge.

One of my favourite artistic styles is Art Deco. The ladies and gents (depicted in the movies) all dressed up and had a whale of a time.

This Artist Trading card is therefore dedicated to my love of the era.

So, you know how much I have enjoyed paper cutting over the last year and how much I am in awe of those that do this delicate and time intensive craft?

Sometimes I find the things that other people do a little magical. It could be a skill or a talent – I know such a diverse and talented bunch of people that I am surprised that I don’t live in a perpetually awestruck state.

Anyway, it was this feeling that I wanted to convey in today’s Artist Trading Card.

Do all living creatures dream? If so, what do they dream about? That was a question that I asked myself as I was making today’s Artist Trading Card.

Yes, I do think some bizarre things as I am crafting don’t I?

Hello all. Welcome back to my little series of Artist Trading Cards. This post features number 16 of 365.

For this Artist Trading Card daily post I had more time available than normal so decided that I would try and create something that needed a little more work.
