MMH: Mixed Media Collage ATCs

[ohhappyday]

Based on the interest in my recent Inspirational Garden Swap, I think there are many of us who can't draw and prefer mixed media collage art. So... I'm starting this MMH (Make Me Happy) thread for MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE ATCS!

There are a few guidelines set by the admin and they are:
* You must have an iTrader rating of +3 to start or participate.
* Players are required to send out their item before accepting another/offering trade.
* You are encouraged to post pictures of what you make in the thread.
* Players agree to a 2 week maximum mailing dead line, and keep in communication. If not, a Negative iTrader should be given.
* Please limit chatting in the MMH threads - this can make it difficult to follow.
* If you edit your original post to note when you mailed out, or to post a picture of your work, it will help to keep the thread in the correct rotation and running smoothly.

My own guidelines: quality work, nice layers and embellishments, no stickers please. An added bonus would be to know what technique you used for your mixed media, such as gelli plate, texture paste, alcohol ink, etc.

Let's get started!!! Who wants to be first??

Please state 3 options for a theme of mixed media collage art that would make you HAPPY!
For example: Who would like to MMH with a mixed media collage ATC with one of the following themes?
vintage bathing beauty
positive quote or saying
patriotic

If you have any questions, please PM me.
