It’s the best season of the year for flowers and after a long winter it’s just what we need.
If you love ATCs, you’ll want to join in – this swap is geared towards experienced artists so the quality will be high! Think of the immense array of flowers there are, could be vintage, retro, grungy, stylised, decorative, natural, could be the old favourites of cottage gardens, daffodils, tulips, lily-of-the-valley, crocuses. Treatment and technique is up to you, think creative artistic, flowery oh I could go on and on but it’s your choice. Some flatish embellishments are ok. I’m getting excited already!
