I've been working on some Easter themed atcs for a swap--but these still need a little something, such as a Happy Easter on the front! These are standard size atcs with a little bit of an arch and a cut frame.  The backgrounds on the large part of the atcs are Gelli Plate prints, while the framed section uses Perfect Pearl Mist shimmery backgrounds.  Stamp Sets Used: Grunge Collages, Grunge It Up,  Vintage Birds, and Years Ago For more info on these atcs, visit my full blog post at easily amused, hard to offend.
