May ATC

Theme for May's ATC on ATC Blog this time was "Anything but a Rectangle".

Here are my entries -

1. Stiletto

I made this in a hurry hence the simple look. I wanted to make something ornate, but then, loved this one too. The Paper is actually from a wedding invite.. I so totally loved the golden sparkle. The flower & that tiny winy ribbon is from my stash.

2. Circle of Life 

Well, A friend of mine,Jaspreet Bhambra, sold/auctioned her paintings to raise funds for an NGO working towards Child rights and education. One particular painting was made together with her 5 year old nephew, Arnav Bhambra, who wanted to help in this initiative. He wanted to help in making the paintings so that they can be adopted to raise money for, in his own words, "kids who do not have anything and can't go to school, or buy paints, or colors, or books, and pencils...."

So this painting is the inspiration behind my 2nd ATC, and there are two of these ATCs because I sent one to Arnav along with the ATC swap hostess.On having a look at what the hostess received, i was a bit disheartened for the crumpled quilled center. Here's the pic which hostess posted.. :(  And i have no idea in what state has Arnav received the ATC, that being sent in another country altogether.

Loved that cute little bird.

And this one is from Anita. 

Super cute Duck buttons :)

Finally!

So finally i got time to make this months ATCs.. I was really really busy this month, and really thought i'll not be able to send ATCs for march. Also this month's theme was a little tough for me.. or maybe i was going through artists' block.. couldnt think of much to do with the buttons i bought for this project.. I had never worked with buttons before..
I made two ATCs..  & not happy with one of them.. I ripeed it off totally and made it again.. not too happy with second attempt either..  I still think i could have done better, but lack of time did stop me to start afresh the Third time.. :D
I hope someone likes them :D
