JANUARY
brings the snow
My January ATC
represents the dark grey sky
just before it snows
down to the blue white
of the snow
and the sheen on it in the sunshine.
Red rose hips
inspired by a favourite photo
I took in the Churchyard one January.

and an honesty seed head
just because I love them.
I used chalks lightly brushed over with baby oil
to give a water colour effect,
my favourite stamp
& some white glitter.
January brings the snow
was inspired by the rhyme
I regularly read to the children
when they were young.

how utterly beautiful.......I love your inspiration too!!
ReplyDeleteFor most of the ATCs I did, I would do a duplicate one to keep, but for a current Birthday fabric ATC swap, it doesn't make sense to do an exact duplicate. Thus, when I chance upon your ATC Challenge, I think I have found the solution! With the same tatted motif I did for the birthday ATC in Jan, I sewed up this Jan 2012 ATC for myself, dedicated to the birthday girl whose birthday falls in the month!
ReplyDeleteHere's my January ATC:
