Rejoining ATCSforall after a long hiatus. I, too, was able to travel in the Covid Era. This theme will let me get a bit nostalgic. May I join you?

[LuAnnP]

Here's my offering: White Cliffs Of Dover...Roll On Columbia...Old Cape Cod...Big Rock Candy Mountain


I learned a lot in this swap challenge a) I'm not a painter b) I will get better c) the more I practice the better it will be. These aren't perfect but I had a lot of fun. Thank you Jo for a great swap challenge

What a fun post! You have captured the spirit of ATCs!

I always like to hear the stories that go with the cards….and ii like your attitude!

Loving the art and the music I’m seeing here. It’s amazing how the song is playing inside your head as you work on the card. This is my first card - London Still (The Waifs)

flashviv, I absolutely LOVE your cards! What is it you use to create them? Is that watercolor pencil?

[flashviv]

Thanks Ancient Painter, I use coloured pencils, mainly Primsacolor pencils. I love how soft they are and how the blend so well. In the London card I used a bit of ink too. I went over the background of the Babylon card with white gouache because I felt it was all too busy and that helped the lady become centre of attention.

I have some watercolour pencils but haven’t had a play with them for a while.

[LindyLu]

Ancient Planter and flashviv, your cards are wonderful!

[jo.on.the.go]

Here is another of my cards: "Blue Hawaii". Lyrics were written by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger, and the song was sung by Elvis in the movie Blue Hawaii in 1961.
