My First Ever ATC....

Yesterday I decided I'd have a go at making an ATC...after spotting them on various blogs...and admiring them.
I really can't believe I haven't attempted one before!! and I think I'm actually going to use up all my little scraps of paper that I probably would have struggled to use otherwise...
Although I have to admit, I did struggle with doing things on a 'small scale' ...lord knows how people manage inchies!!!
anyway...heres my first attempt... and my entry for the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge..... which incidentally you don't have to use a Tilda image for now... but I decided I would as they are a fab size...

The theme is New stuff.... and my 'new stuff' is my Basic grey 'sugared' and 'eva' papers.....
Tilda is coloured with promarkers and colouring pencils (again!) and I've added a few doodled bits, and handwritten 'cherish'.....

Thanks for looking!!
