Altered by Design ATC swap: Shannon Sawyer

Shannon Sawyer, from Gold Canyon, AZ has sent in 2 sets of extraordinary ATCs and extras for Carol and I. Wow! They are amazing. Shannon wrote me a note and told me a bit about how she made them . . . She pulled out some shrink plastic that she had not played with for a while and stamped, cut out and shrunk the beautiful flourishes you see on each card. She hand made flowers out of sheet music, punches & brads and she painted some of the flowers with Twinkling H2Os to match the ATC. They are incredibly detailed! She did a lot of work and it shows! Shannon was recently a Guest Designer for ALpha Stamps and you can see more of her gorgeous work (26 pieces) in the Alpha Stamps Gallery. She used the new Grimm Brothers' fairytale sheets for these pieces and made more amazing things!

In the meantime, feast your eyes on what Shannon has created for our swap, below! Click on any photo or scan for more detail. Enjoy!
