Halloween Faeryink are having a Halloween ATC swap and I decided to have a play. I like ATCs and it makes me think out of the box and is a change from card making. My monthly stamp group does one and have done a few others. This one was easy as I only had to do three and they could all be different. I downloaded a few great images from Faeryink and used the Raven Nevermore and Witchball on two of them and a witch image from DeliciousDoodles . Sorry this post is so long but I like to list the colours I use and it is usually only for one project. On the raven ATC I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours to colour all the images. The house and bats are from SU 's Halloween Scares stamp set and the gravestones from a Make it Crafty  digi image.

Last of Spring Haven't used watercolours for a while so dragged them out for this corner flower garden from SU.

Used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours for the flowers then spent ages fussy cutting them out and used liquid glue to adhere them to the background. Won't be doing that again any time soon but love the finished look so it was worth it. Stamped a greeting with Versamark ink on some black card and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Wasn't sure if I liked it so did another one on white card with black embossing but went with the black.
