“Where Readers Read” ATC Swap

  These ATCs were for a fun, lighthearted swap I signed up for several weeks ago.  The theme was “Where Readers Read” and the specifications said to show anything reading anywhere, just so long as somebody or something was reading a book. So they got  birds reading.  🙂 I used Tsukineko permanent  felt-tip pens […]

Then, using blue and purplish markers, I drew some patterns directly on the roller and rolled them over the cards, creating layers of patterns. I […]
