HER ROYAL HIGHNESS ATC SWAP

These ATCs were a swap that Jan Smith and I did on the theme HER ROYAL HIGHNESS. It was the first time we've swapped and I hope, the first of many. Jan's gothic arch atc arrived in the post yesterday and I was blown away by it. Unfortunately my photo doesn't do it anywhere near justice as it's so all aglitter, my camera can't cope! It really is a small thing of beauty having so many lovely details which I only wish you could see. It has a dictionary quote on the word 'regal', an HRH seal, beautiful gold edging and is embellished with a gold crown and a wing on the child. It's very pretty.Not only did Jan send the lovely atc but she very generously included some papers for me to play with. Thank you Jan. Her work is amazing and she can be found at http://jansartyatcjourney.blogspot.com/ - do take a look.
Mine, on the other hand, couldn't ever be described as pretty but, I had great fun making her. I particularly enjoyed stamping the angels wings and then using them upside down as her collar! This theme has really grabbed my imagination and I'm going to make a few more - a whole royal family perhaps! Great fun to do and wonderful to receive. If anyone else would like to do an atc swap, please, just let me know. I can't get enough!
